National Recovery Month is observed every September. It raises awareness and understanding of mental health and substance use disorders and celebrates people in recovery. It’s a time to share stories of hope that demonstrate how treatment, caring providers and community support make recovery possible! This year, Ashley shared her journey to recovery.

“Addiction is a disease and it doesn’t simply go away. You have to keep moving forward, stay faithful and remain accountable. I am deeply grateful for the support I received to be where I am today.” – Ashley
Ashley, who is a proud mom to her daughter McKenzie, found strength and healing through Easterseals PORT Health’s Outpatient Services. As both a new mother and someone in recovery, she gained the tools and support she needed to become the mom she always dreamed of being. Ashley is celebrating 11 years in recovery!
