ADMH is pleased to host the 2012 Celebrate Recovery Challenge. This challenge seeks to recognize the “best” Recovery Month event held in Alabama.

National Recovery Month is held annually during the month of September. Sponsored by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, Recovery Month seeks to promote the societal benefits of prevention, treatment, and recovery from mental illnesses and substance use disorders. The observance celebrates people in recovery, lauds the contributions of treatment and service providers, and promotes the message that recovery is possible.

Raising awareness is a crucial component of Recovery Month throughout the nation, and organizations throughout Alabama have traditionally hosted events statewide to celebrate the observance and help promote its message.
