During the September 8 meeting, the Coweta County Board of Commissioners approved a request from Coweta F.O.R.C.E. (Friends of Recovery for Community Empower) to declare the month of September as “National Recovery Month” in Coweta County.
National Recovery Month celebrates the strength, resilience and achievements of those on the recovery journey from addiction. It also serves as an important reminder that recovery is possible and that support, connection and community can make a meaningful difference.
“We know that recovery saves lives,” says Hank Arnold, the Coweta FORCE / Friends of Recovery Troup Founder and Executive Director. “We know that it restores families and that is the mission and hope of National Recovery Month: that we can tell more stories to attract more folks that need substance use recoveries.”
The annual observance also highlights new evidence-based treatment and recovery practices, supports the recovery community and recognizes the dedication of those who make recovery in all its forms possible.
