Recovery takes strength — and it builds it, too. When people recover, they not only change their own lives, they strengthen our communities.

Gov. Tim Walz has proclaimed September as Recovery Month, noting that “seven in 10 adults who have experienced a substance use disorder identify as being in recovery, underscoring the hope and possibility of long-term healing.”

💜 To those in recovery: Thank you for your courage, your resilience, and for shining a light of hope for the hundreds of thousands of Minnesotans still struggling. You show us that recovery is not only possible — it’s worth it.

💜 To those still struggling: You are not alone. There are many paths to recovery, and a comprehensive assessment can help you find the support that’s right for you. Learn more at https://mn.gov/dhs/sud-get-help.
