National
Recovery Month
September 1-30, 2004
Celebrating Sobriety and Wellness
What is National Recovery
Month?
The Center for Substance Abuse Treatment and the
Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration
(www.samhsa.gov) wants to help local communities
promote the idea that Treatment Works! In line with
that, they have developed a National Treatment Plan
Initiative (www. naxplan.org) and have designated
September 2004 as National Drug and Alcohol Addiction
Recovery Month as a time to draw attention to the
success of treatment efforts.
What is White Bison’s
Role?
White Bison, Inc. (www.whitebison.org) has been
developing prevention and treatment resources for
Native American communities since 1988. Our mission
is to bring 100 Native American communities into
Wellbriety by the year 2010. To be in a state of
Wellbriety means that people live healthy and sober
lifestyles that are balanced emotionally, mentally,
physically, and spiritually. It also means that
the communities develop interconnected resources
and strategies to address the prevention, treatment,
intervention and recovery needs of babies, youth,
adults and elders. The Wellbriety Movement is part
of the outreach and development effort to bring
individuals, families and communities into Wellbriety
all throughout Turtle Island.
September has also been designated National Native
American Wellbriety Month. Thus, White Bison has
agreed to partner with CSAT to get the word out
about the importance of “Joining the Voices
of Recovery…Now!” We want to let people
know that treatment works, and that we should be
proud that we are “in recovery.”
White Bison has been contracted to provide resources,
pamphlets, planning and media materials to assist
Tulsa, OK, Buffalo, NY, and Rapid City, SD in developing
their own Recovery Month activities and events.
What are Recovery
Month Events?
Each of the Native American communities selected
to participate in the National Recovery Month celebration
will hold a variety of events such as community
gatherings, runs, presentations, powwows, festivals
and other activities that bring attention to the
success of treatment efforts. Local coordinators
will be scheduling these events for the month of
September. |
