💛 SEPTEMBER IS NATIONAL RECOVERY MONTH IN WILKES COUNTY! 💛
This past Tuesday, the Wilkes County Board of Commissioners officially proclaimed September 2026 as National Recovery Month in Wilkes County.
For us, this is more than a proclamation. It is a public declaration that recovery is real, recovery is possible, and recovery deserves to be visible and celebrated.
We are especially grateful that this proclamation recognizes not only those living in recovery, but also the families, peer support specialists, treatment and healthcare providers, first responders, employers, faith communities, volunteers, community organizations, and so many others who help make recovery possible.
Throughout September, we’ll be celebrating the many pathways recovery can take and the people who remind us every day that there is no single “right” way to recover.
Recovery can mean rebuilding relationships.
Recovery can mean asking for help.
Recovery can mean treatment or medication.
Recovery can mean finding community and purpose.
Recovery can mean trying again.
And sometimes, recovery simply means still being here.
To every person in recovery: your life, your progress, and your story matter.
Thank you to the Wilkes County Board of Commissioners for recognizing National Recovery Month and for joining our community in reducing stigma, supporting individuals and families, and building a Wilkes County where recovery is visible, celebrated, supported, and accessible to all.
💛 Recovery is possible. Hope lives here.
