SMART Recovery is a Recovery Month 2010 Planning Partner

PRLog (Press Release) - Jun. 10, 2010 - Mentor, Ohio - SMART Recovery has joined the list of organizations that collaborate with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration and the Center for Substance Abuse Treatment to help to sponsor Recovery Month 2010.

Recovery Month aims to promote the societal benefits of alcohol and drug use disorder treatment, laud the contributions of treatment providers, and promote the message that recovery from alcohol and drug use disorders, in all its forms, is possible.
 
Over the last 20 years, Recovery Month has inspired millions of people to raise awareness about addiction, share their stories of recovery, and assist others.  During September of 2009, hundreds of events were held including Recovery Night at Major League Baseball games, the walk over the Brooklyn Bridge and several large motorcycle rallies.  SMART Recovery now is participating in the planning efforts of the 2010 “Join the Voices for Recovery: Now More Than Ever”.
 
SMART Recovery encourages its groups and participating individuals to become involved in Recovery Month 2010 and help achieve the goals – especially the message that recovery is possible.
