This observance reinforces the positive message that behavioral health is essential to overall health, prevention works, treatment is effective, and people can and do recover.<\/p>\n<p>There are millions of Americans whose lives have been transformed through recovery. Since these successes often go unnoticed by the broader population, Recovery Month provides a vehicle for everyone to celebrate these accomplishments.<\/p>\n<p>The 2021 theme, \u201c<strong>Recovery is For Everyone: Every Person, Every Family, Every Community,<\/strong>\u201d reminds people in recovery and those who support them that no one is alone in the journey through recovery. Everyone&#8217;s journey is different, but we are all in this together. Recovery Month will continue to educate others about substance use disorders and co-occurring disorders, the effectiveness of treatment and recovery services, and that recovery is possible. All of us, from celebrities and sports figures to our co-workers, neighbors, friends, and family members, throughout our lives have experienced peaks and valleys, both big and small. But with strength, support, and hope from the people we love, we are resilient.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Learn more:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/rm.facesandvoicesofrecovery.org\/\"
