Please consider adding your voice and invest in this recovery month of September to acknowledge a life that is happy, respected and useful as a person in recovery. You can engage in many wonderful recovery events planned across the state to celebrate National Recovery Month. You can check out Mat-Su Opioid Task Force’s Facebook, Recover Alaska’s Facebook and realaboutaddiction.net for all the recovery events.
Also, there are many communities across the state that have coalitions and task forces that are part of the good fight. Consider joining your community’s members seeking solutions to substance misuse. We are all stakeholders. Join the conversation to foster support to enhance the chances of recovery for all Alaskans. Let’s stand together and act to ensure a safe and healthy Alaska.
