National Recovery Month (Recovery Month) is a national observance held every September to educate Americans that substance use treatment and mental health services can enable those with a mental and/or substance use disorder to live a healthy and rewarding life.
This month, MDC will be hosting and participating in different events to celebrate Recovery Month.
We wrapped up our Recovery Coach Academy the first week of September, training 14 people to become recovery coaches in our community. If you know someone who needs a coach, or would like to know more, please visit: Recovery Coaching – Metro Drug Coalition.
MDC is continuing our All Recovery and Mindfulness Meetings on Thursday evenings. All Recovery Meetings are peer led recovery meetings that focus on topic discussions. It is not connected with any specific recovery program or 12-step group. Meetings welcome all who struggle with addiction, are affected by addiction or support the recovery lifestyle. MDC will also be offering a Mindfulness session directly following our All Recovery Meeting. Mindfulness can help bring a new level of awareness to recovery. With guided mindfulness practice, this weekly meeting will support a deeper understanding of yourself. This class is also open to anyone in the community interested in a mindfulness session.
