As we make quality and affordable health care more accessible to all Americans, we also resolve to build a healthier Nation by increasing access to treatment and recovery programs in our health care system. This year's theme, "Join the Voices for Recovery: Now More Than Ever!," calls us to an urgent mission to save lives from the hazards of addiction. During National Alcohol and Drug Addiction Recovery Month, we express support for those living healthy and productive lives in long term recovery, we applaud those working to help struggling Americans break the cycle of abuse, and we encourage those in need to seek help.

While addiction can destroy self confidence, family ties, and friendships, recovery can restore the promise of a brighter tomorrow. Each day brings new opportunities for personal growth, renewal, and transformation to millions of Americans who have chosen to forge a path toward recovery from addiction to drugs or alcohol.
