Recovery is for everyone – every person, every family, and every community. Every September, we set aside the month to recognize the long and difficult battle toward recovery from substance use disorder and behavioral health issues.
During Recovery Month, we:
- honor those who are bravely moving forward on their road to recovery;
- celebrate those who are making progress, holding them up as examples for us all;
- remember those whose struggle may have been too much;
- and thank the professionals, volunteers, care providers. and others who dedicate themselves to supporting those in need.
This month — and every month — the City of Philadelphia Department of Behavioral Health and Intellectual disAbility Services (DBHIDS) wants all Philadelphians to know: You are not alone. We are here to help.
