On top of being Mental Health Awareness Month September is Recovery Month.
The Manitowoc County Health Department is doing its part in helping people get the help they need in their battle against drug and alcohol addiction. Jenny Gleichner, a Public Health Nurse with the Health Department explains.
“We are dedicating this month to supporting recovery for every person, family, and community,” she told Seehafer News. “The road to recovery can feel lonely, but we are here to assure you, you are not alone.”
She told us that last year, 40.3 million people aged 12 or older had a substance use disorder.
While everyone’s path to recovery is different, the Health Department is ensuring those suffering with addiction that recovery is possible.
