This September marks the 32nd annual National Drug and Alcohol Recovery Month. This year’s theme, “Recovery Is for Everyone: Every Person, Every Family, Every Community,” reminds the general public that substance use and mental health disorders have impacts that reach far beyond the individual level. It further reminds people in recovery and those who support them that they are not alone. This initiative aims to educate Americans about substance abuse treatment programs and mental health services. These treatments can enable individuals with substance use or mental health disorders to live healthy, happy, and rewarding lives.
Spokane Falls Recovery Center is proud to participate in National Drug and Alcohol Recovery Month. We believe in promoting and supporting evidence-based treatment and recovery practices in our community and beyond. Call us today at 844.962.2775 to find out how we can help you or your loved one begin your journey to recovery.
The Importance of National Drug and Alcohol Recovery Month
Addiction recovery has transformed millions of American’s lives. National Recovery Month provides a platform for these individuals to celebrate their accomplishments and share their stories. In doing so, they help increase awareness about substance use disorders and mental health disorders. Each of these success stories helps improve understanding and illustrates that addiction and mental health disorders impact people from all walks of life.
A critical component of Recovery Month is advocating for recovery to encourage the millions of Americans who have not yet sought help. This advocation may occur through public service announcements, documentaries, public forums, seminars, and more. The general public receives education about addiction and mental health through these services. They’ll also receive access to phone numbers, websites, and other resources they can reach out to for help. The efforts of Recovery Month also aim to show that:
- Prevention works
- Treatment is effective
- Treatment is available for everyone
- People can and do recover
Thousands of public agencies, recovery programs, and treatment facilities like Spokane Falls Recovery Center participate in National Recovery Month. Through this month, they help people suffering from addiction and mental health disorders get the treatment they deserve. It is the hope that these efforts will help to destigmatize substance use disorders and mental health disorders.
Addiction Recovery Is Possible at Spokane Falls Recovery Center
Addiction is a disease, and like other diseases such as diabetes or cancer, it requires treatment from qualified professionals. Research shows that repeated substance abuse causes changes in the brain and impacts the brain’s ability to function normally. As a result, individuals will not be able to stop substance use independently. When an underlying undiagnosed mental health disorder is at the root of substance abuse or addiction, a person’s health is considerably further compromised. Untreated addiction and mental health conditions are significant risk factors for self-harm, risk-taking behaviors, overdose, and suicide.
Spokane Falls Recovery Center offers drug addiction treatment, alcohol addiction treatment, as well as a holistic approach to addressing a variety of behavioral health needs. Our addiction treatment services are based on the American Society of Addiction Medicine (ASAM®) standards, which we use in our intake and assessment to help determine the best level of care for each of our patients. Our addiction treatment programs include:
