June Press Conference

On June 25th, 2009, SAMHSA held a press conference announcing the 20th Anniversary Observance of Recovery Month to be held in September, 2009. The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) unveiled materials developed to help communities plan and host Recovery Month events and activities and to help publicize the Agency’s 24/7 toll-free substance use disorder information and treatment referral Helpline, 1-800-662-HELP.

The 2009 Recovery Month theme – “Join the Voices for Recovery: Together We Learn, Together We Heal,” underscores the continued gains our nation is making in addressing addiction treatment. It also supports the need to redouble efforts to reach those who still need to find and successfully complete addiction treatment services and join the ranks of those in long-term recovery from alcohol and drug addiction.
