Athens, TX — September is National Recovery Month, a time to celebrate the strength of those who have overcome substance use and mental health challenges, while raising awareness about the importance of accessible treatment and recovery support. Since 1989, this observance has reminded communities across the country that recovery is possible—and that hope is real.
This year’s theme, “Recovery is For Everyone: Every Person, Every Family, Every Community,” reflects a truth we see every day at Padre’s Place Recovery: no one has to walk this journey alone.
