National Recovery Month - Community Events
Macon Recovers, River Edge's Addiction Recovery Support Center held their 3rd annual
Recovery Month event on September 17. The outdoor event featured speakers sharing their
recovery story in honor of Recovery Month.
Macon Recovers offers peer-led support for anyone aged 18 and up with a history of substance
use disorder. Hours of operation are 11:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday. Various
activities and recovery-focused meetings are offered to engage and support many pathways of
recovery. Macon Recovers is located at 595 Wimbish Road in Macon.
"Our Many Pathways to Recovery Month speaker event is by far my favorite event of the year. It
was powerful to hear our speakers talk passionately about their paths to recovery. We all have a
story that needs to be told and our speakers did a fantastic job. Regardless if someone has 10
years, 10 months or 10 days in recovery, celebrate that progress! Recovery Month is about
celebrating the gains made by those in recovery from substance use and
mental health disorders.
