This Recovery Month, recognized every September, Horizon celebrates the strength and resilience of those on their recovery journeys and continues to raise awareness about the importance of treatment for substance use disorders. This year’s theme from SAMHSA, “Recovery is REAL (Restoring Every Aspect of Life)”, acknowledges the many dimensions that contribute to an individual’s recovery journey.
Throughout the month, we are highlighting inspiring testimonials from some of our patients currently on their recovery journeys. Read their powerful reflections below.
