Aroostook Mental Health Services, Inc. is proud to join communities nationwide in recognizing National Recovery Month in September. This year’s theme “Recovery is REAL (Restoring Every Aspect of Life)” reminds us that recovery is not only about addressing substance use challenges.
“Recovery is not just about ending addiction,” said Christy Daggett, AMHC CEO. “It is also about an opportunity to start living.”
