September is National Recovery Month


September is a time where we recognize national recovery month for the past 32 years. Recovery is for everyone, every person, and every family. An individual can recover from many different addictions. September is a month that we celebrate recovery of all kinds. 

Those suffering with addiction need support. This guide from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services can be used to talk to a loved one who you believe has a drinking problem.

Check out our Substance Use Disorder page on Ohiochc.org for more information from OACHC on this subject. 

At times, choosing the right provider can seem overwhelming. Substance Abuses and Mental Heath Services Administration has released this guide to aid in this search. You can also find web banner and logos on this page to display on your own social media accounts to help spread the word this month. If you are unsure of stigmatizing words and imageries to avoid, visit this page for guidance. 

One way to prevent addition is to openly talk with your children about the implications of addiction. You can use this guide to find great ways to go about discussing this with your family and to be sure you are prepared.
