September is National Recovery Month
September is National Recovery Month. This month, we join organizations such as the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) in recognizing, honoring, and increasing awareness of mental health and addiction recovery. CSTS works year-round to bring scholarly and research oriented problem solving to mental and behavioral health problems, and this month, we aim to highlight our resources, research, and more related to alcohol and substance use recovery.
