The

The observance also encourages citizens to take action to help expand and improve the availability of effective substance abuse treatment for those in need.
Hear My Voice, Hear My Story
Across the country, people in recovery are celebrating their successes and sharing them with others in an effort to educate the public about treatment, how it works, for whom, and why. Because these successes often go unnoticed by the broader population, Voices for Recovery provides a vehicle for people to share their recovery stories.
