Ben Gordon Center – Providing Direction in Life
Recovery Month promotes the societal benefits of prevention, treatment, and recovery for mental and substance use disorders, celebrates people in recovery, lauds the contributions of treatment and service providers, and promotes the message that recovery in all its forms is possible. Recovery Month spreads the positive message that behavioral health is essential to overall health, that prevention works, treatment is effective and people can and do recover.
Across the country, people in recovery are celebrating their successes and sharing them with others in an effort to educate the public about treatment, how it works, for whom, and why. Because these successes often go unnoticed by the broader population, Voices for Recovery provides a vehicle for people to share their recovery stories.
You can view others’ stories throughout September and share your recovery story to help others see that recovery is possible here in DeKalb County.
We will post your story along with your first name, if you choose to provide this information. If you prefer to remain anonymous, only provide your story to info@bengordoncenter.org or bgcml@bengordoncenter.org.
