The month of September is dedicated to the awareness and celebration of recovery. The theme for National Recovery Month 2018 is “join the voices of recovery: invest in health, home, purpose and community.”

Once people leave treatment, they are faced with a whole new set of obstacles to overcome. One of the best ways to overcome these challenges is to join the recovery community, which is why Gateway Foundation encourages all alumni to become engaged with the recovery community. A recovery community gives people the opportunity to connect with others who have shared experiences and helps them build connections with one another.

Marty Cook, director of alumni events for Gateway Foundation, started a recovery community in the northern suburbs and continues growing that community in his role at Gateway. Our recovery community extends past only our alumni – we welcome all of those in lifelong recovery to join our recovery community.

Gateway Foundation doesn’t just save lives—it offers the opportunity for lifelong success, providing alumni with ongoing access to the support structures developed during treatment and building on the strong foundation created within recovery.
