September is National Alcohol and Drug Addiction Recovery Month. The Recovery Month effort aims to promote the societal benefits of alcohol and drug use disorder treatment, laud the contributions of treatment providers and promote the message that recovery from alcohol and drug use disorders in all its forms is possible.
Curran-Seeley Foundation, a private, non-profit agency specializing in substance abuse counseling services, wants to heighten awareness of local services available for people in need of treatment for substance abuse.
Curran-Seeley is celebrating their first anniversary in Pinedale. Their main office is located in Jackson.
