Every September, thousands of people in the UK and internationally organise local events to celebrate and raise awareness of the reality of recovery from addiction to alcohol and other drugs. This initiative takes place as part of International Recovery Month, which aims to highlight the achievements and resilience of individuals who have overcome addiction and to promote the importance of support and treatment for those in recovery.
The Recovery Month tagline, “Recovery is for Everyone: Every Person, Every Family, Every Community” reminds people in recovery and those who support them, that recovery belongs to all of us. Access the logos by clicking here.
