September is National Recovery Month!

Addiction recovery is a challenging journey that requires compassion, support, and the right resources. For those struggling with drug or alcohol addiction, finding effective recovery programs can be a lifeline towards a healthier and happier life.


Recovery programs provide individuals with the tools, guidance, and community needed to overcome addiction. They offer a safe and nurturing environment where individuals can address the underlying causes of their addiction and develop strategies for long-term recovery.


Whether it's inpatient rehabilitation centers, outpatient treatment programs, or support groups, these programs play a crucial role in helping individuals break free from the grip of addiction. They provide evidence-based therapies, counseling sessions, education on relapse prevention, and ongoing support to help individuals rebuild their lives.


Recovery programs are designed to address both the physical and psychological aspects of addiction while providing individuals with the necessary tools to reclaim their lives. At Agape Center Lynchburg, we support local recovery programs and our clients who are involved with them. While at Agape, clients who struggle with addiction receive prayer and encouragement to continue following the program all the while leaning on God to give them the strength to overcome.


If you or someone you know is struggling with drug or alcohol addiction, reaching out for help is the first step towards recovery. There are numerous resources available that can connect you with reputable recovery programs tailored to your specific needs. Remember, you are not alone on this journey - there is hope for healing and transformation.



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.


Recovery Month celebrates the gains made by those in recovery, just as we celebrate health improvements made by those who are managing other health conditions such as hypertension, diabetes, asthma, and heart disease. This observance reinforces the positive message that behavioral health is essential to overall health, prevention works, treatment is effective, and people can and do recover.


There are millions of Americans whose lives have been transformed through recovery. Since these successes often go unnoticed by the broader population, Recovery Month provides a vehicle for everyone to celebrate these accomplishments. Each September, tens of thousands of prevention, treatment, and recovery programs and facilities around the country celebrate Recovery Month. They speak about strides made by those in recovery and share their success stories with their neighbors, friends, and colleagues. In doing so, everyone helps to increase awareness and foster a greater understanding about mental and substance use disorders.
