CMHA-CEI Recognizing National Recovery Month in September

Lansing, MI - Community Mental Health Authority of Clinton, Eaton, and Ingham Counties (CMHA-CEI) is raising awareness of recovery resources and tools for the tri-county area during National Recovery Month. National Recovery Month is a national observance held every September to educate Americans that substance use treatment and mental health services can enable those with mental and substance use disorders to live healthy and rewarding lives. Now in its 31st year, Recovery Month celebrates the gains made by those living in recovery.

CMHA-CEI recognizes the importance of mental health and Substance Use Disorder (SUD) recovery and is promoting several resources and events that the community can use to support individuals during Recovery Month. These resources and tools can help aid someone in recognizing that they are experiencing a behavioral health crisis, need access to treatment, and access to recovery supports.

The Behavioral Health Screening Tool: If you see changes in someone in your life, it could be a sign they’re struggling with their behavioral health. Let them know that you’re there for them by sharing a behavioral health screening that they can take anonymously from their device.

Integrated Treatment and Recovery Services (ITRS) at CMHA-CEI: Integrated Treatment & Recovery Services (ITRS) (formerly Substance Abuse Services) provides withdrawal management, residential and outpatient substance use disorder services involving individual and group therapy sessions.
