National Recovery Month 2023
|
September 1st – 30th
This September, help us raise awareness and understanding of mental health and substance use disorders. The entire month is dedicated to promoting and supporting new evidence-based addiction treatment and recovery practices, as well as to honor those who are passionate service providers and community members. It’s also a time to celebrate those individuals who have reached recovery. Recovery Month runs from September 1st to September 30th nationwide each year. It’s because of this month that recovery is possible for so many.
What are National Recovery Month colors?
The official color of Recovery Month is purple. While the theme of Recovery Month changes every year, purple is always the official color of Recovery Month. Other colors may be incorporated into the celebration of this month, including turquoise awareness ribbons for Addiction Recovery Awareness.
