"National Recovery Month (Recovery Month) is a national observance held every September to educate Americans that substance use treatment and mental health services can enable those with a mental and/or substance use disorder to live a healthy and rewarding life."
National Recovery Month
By the National Association of Alcoholism Counselors and Trainers
"Recovery Month celebrates the gains made by those in recovery, just as we celebrate health improvements made by those who are managing other health conditions such as hypertension, diabetes, asthma, and heart disease. 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.

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. Each September, tens of thousands of prevention, treatment, and recovery programs and facilities around the country celebrate Recovery Month. They speak about strides made by those in recovery and share their success stories with their neighbors, friends, and colleagues. In doing so, everyone helps to increase awareness and foster a greater understanding about mental and substance use disorders.

The 2021 National Recovery Month theme, “Recovery is For Everyone: Every Person, Every Family, Every Community,” reminds people in recovery and those who support them that no one is alone in the journey through recovery. Everyone'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."


A Proclamation on National Recovery Month, 2021
From The White House
“The COVID-19 pandemic has taken an enormous toll on the lives of the American people, especially those struggling with substance use disorder. While many have continued on their path towards recovery, even while facing the additional physical, emotional, and economic hardships brought about by the pandemic, others have struggled. During National Recovery Month, we celebrate the millions of Americans who have achieved recovery and reaffirm our commitment to helping more Americans overcome substance use disorder and reach recovery. We also support those who are still struggling to achieve recovery and dedicate ourselves to overcoming these challenges together.

The work ahead includes making treatment and recovery support services accessible to all Americans. My American Rescue Plan delivered nearly $4 billion to strengthen and expand mental health and substance use disorder services. My Administration will also continue to work to expand employment opportunities for people in recovery and foster the development of recovery-ready workplace policies and cultures. Helping those in recovery to attain economic opportunity and mobility will not only improve their well-being but also benefit our Nation as a whole. These investments will lay the foundation upon which more Americans — of all backgrounds and in every community — can build and maintain long-term recovery.

National Addiction Professionals Day will be celebrated on September 20, 2021, as part of National Recovery Month. This day aims to celebrate the vital players of the health system and continuum of care: addiction professionals. The day was established by NAADAC to commemorate all the hard work that addiction professionals do on a daily basis."

Omaha Crime Stoppers, Omaha Police Department, & KETV
"A month-long campaign is designed to draw new attention and new leads to 30 unsolved murders in the City of Omaha."

"The reason Crime Stoppers is a program here in Omaha is to help provide an avenue for information to come to the police to help solve crimes, but to do so in a way where you remain anonymous," said Omaha Crime Stoppers Board President Eric Bildt.

Omaha Crime Stoppers will pay $25,000 for an anonymous tip that leads to an arrest and charges in a homicide case.

The program has awarded more than $1 million within the last seven years for tips on various crimes. Crime Stoppers uses code numbers and a unique method of distributing reward money to insure tipsters remain anonymous."
