Recovery Month Toolkit Now Available
In preparation for the 15th annual National Alcohol and Drug Addiction
Recovery Month in September, SAMHSA recently released this year's
Recovery Month toolkit to provide resources about treatment and
recovery options.
This toolkit announces the theme of this year's celebration—"Join
the Voices for Recovery…NOW!"—and provides planning
tools for campaigns and events throughout the month-long celebration
of people who are seeking treatment and leading productive lives
in recovery.
Media outreach materials are included, as well as suggestions
for publicizing treatment and recovery information throughout the
community.
These materials, which include TV and radio public service announcements,
were developed by and will be used by more than 75 organizations
and coalitions within and outside the alcohol and drug addiction
treatment field. The Recovery Month toolkit contains information
on each of the target audiences identified by the national planning
groups, as well as multiple lists of alcohol and drug addiction
treatment agency and program resources.
For a Recovery Month toolkit,

Month virtual toolkit online to craft your own public messages about
