HRES 729 United States House · 118th Congress

Supporting the designation of September 2023 as "National Recovery Month".

This resolution supports designating September 2023 as "National Recovery Month" to raise awareness about substance use disorder recovery. It cites pandemic-related challenges like increased overdoses (over 110,000 fatal drug/alcohol overdoses in 2022) and barriers to treatment. The resolution makes no policy changes but symbolically acknowledges recovery efforts, stigma reduction, and peer support communities. It is a non-binding congressional statement, not a law affecting specific groups or programs.
