September is National Recovery Month, a time to reflect on the journey of recovery, celebrate the successes of those who have overcome addiction, and recognize the hard work of substance use and addiction treatment professionals. On September 20th, we also celebrate National Addiction Professionals Day, a day dedicated to acknowledging and honoring the role that these professionals play.
The Recovery Centers of America team is our greatest asset—they’re the true heroes of recovery. On National Addiction Professionals Day, we celebrate the dedication and compassion of our team members who work tirelessly to help patients overcome addiction and achieve lasting recovery.
We also want to highlight the work of referring professionals, who play a crucial role in connecting individuals in need of treatment with the appropriate resources and support. If you’d like to learn more about our system of care and refer a patient, call 833.926.5486 today.
