Help Maryland Coalition of Families Support National Recovery Month
We know firsthand that when a family member struggles with a drug or alcohol addiction, the entire family struggles. During September, we recognize Recovery Month by providing educational programs that help all families to learn about our services, to better understand the signs of substance use, and to become trained to use the opioid overdose reversal drug, Narcan. Drug and alcohol addictions can happen in any family – be prepared with knowledge and tools. All of our programs are free and everyone is welcome.
