A Celebration of Recovery
For more than 30 years, during the month of September, communities, and local organizations from across the country host celebrations in honor of the National Recovery Month observation. These activities take many forms that bring public attention to recovery and challenge negative attitudes, stigma, and discrimination.
For more than a decade, a vital part of this tradition has included the Big Texas Rally for Recovery – delivering a recovery-centered program that celebrates recovery of individuals, families, and entire communities across Texas.
The governor of Texas, mayor of Houston, and a Harris County judge have released proclamations to announce their support of the Virtual Big Texas Rally for Recovery and to declare September Recovery Month!
