Voices for Recovery

Lucas Catton (08/31/2010)

It has been over 10 years now since I completed a long-term, drug-free treatment program for my addiction. I consider myself completely recovered. I have been working in the drug education and rehabilitation field for the past decade and have had the great fortune of helping many thousands of others find recovery resources as well, and recently published a recovery advocacy book called "The New Face of Recovery", which is about finding permanent solutions to ending addiction. http://www.newfaceofrecovery.org/

Recovery Month promotes the societal benefits of prevention, treatment, and recovery for substance use and mental disorders, celebrates people in recovery, lauds the contributions of treatment and service providers, and promotes the message that recovery in all its forms is possible. Recovery Month spreads the positive message that behavioral health is essential to overall health, that prevention works, treatment is effective and people can and do recover.
