Every September, we unite to observe National Recovery Month, a meaningful occasion to acknowledge the resilience of those on their recovery paths. We also pay tribute to the professionals and programs that assist them, while emphasizing the significance of mental health and substance use treatment.
The Importance of Recovery Month
Countless individuals and families nationwide face challenges related to substance use and mental health. However, despite the prevalence of these issues, stigma continues to hinder many from seeking assistance.
Recovery Month serves as a reminder that:
- The role of support systems is crucial.
By sharing resilience stories, we can dismantle damaging stereotypes and demonstrate that a hopeful path forward exists for everyone, regardless of their starting point.
Gateway Foundation’s Dedication to Recovery
At Gateway Foundation, the core of our mission is recovery. For over five decades, we have supported individuals on their recovery journeys, offering tailored, compassionate, and evidence-based care that meets each person at their specific stage.
We are convinced that recovery not only changes lives but also saves them. Our programs aim not just to address substance use and co-occurring mental health disorders, but to enable long-lasting recovery through the necessary tools, support, and community connections.
During Recovery Month, we will share healing stories, organize events, and showcase the remarkable strength of those who have discovered hope through treatment.
