Every September, communities across the nation come together to observe National Recovery Month, a time dedicated to raising awareness about substance use treatment, mental health, and the power of recovery. For individuals and families affected by addiction, this month serves as a reminder that help is available, recovery is possible, and support is within reach.
At Orlando Treatment Solutions, we are proud to stand alongside the millions of people who use this time to celebrate their recovery journey and inspire others to begin theirs.
What Is National Recovery Month?
Established in 1989, National Recovery Month is an annual observance sponsored by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA). The goal of the campaign is to promote understanding of mental health and substance use disorders, reduce stigma, and highlight the effectiveness of treatment and recovery programs.
Every year, this observance emphasizes that people can and do recover. It also honors the dedication of healthcare providers, treatment professionals, and community organizations working tirelessly to support individuals and families on the path to wellness.

Why National Recovery Month Matters
Addiction and mental health challenges affect millions of Americans each year, yet stigma and misinformation often prevent people from seeking the help they need. National Recovery Month provides an opportunity to:
Celebrate recovery stories and show that healing is possible.
Raise awareness about the importance of accessible treatment.
Educate communities about the resources available for substance use and mental health disorders.
Encourage hope for individuals who may still be struggling.
By shining a spotlight on recovery, this annual event helps break down barriers to treatment and reminds everyone that they are not alone.
