Recovery is not just a personal issue, but a community issue, and September is Recovery Month. Recovery Month promotes the societal benefits of prevention, treatment, and recovery for mental and substance use disorders, celebrates people in recovery, lauds the contributions of treatment and service providers and promotes the message that recovery in all its forms is possible. Recovery Month spreads the positive message that behavioral health is essential to overall health, that prevention works, treatment is effective and people can and do recover.

The Bowen Center, a non-profit mental health care services provider, is committed to making a difference in the lives of those we serve. Our professional team of psychologists, psychiatrists, nurses, social workers, therapists and chemical dependency specialists, provides effective help with a full range of personal concerns.
