Each September, Heartland Recovery recognizes National Recovery Month, a time to increase awareness and celebrate the successes of those who battle addiction. 

Here are some ways you can get involved to show your support to the recovery community and make a difference!

Addiction & The Church Seminar.
Join Heartland Recovery for this 1-day informational seminar designed to equip church leaders with the knowledge and tools to help their congregation effectively identify, support, and welcome individuals with substance abuse disorders and those coming out of incarceration. When the church puts faith into action to embrace these individuals, it makes a significant impact. Session speakers have many years of experience working in various aspects of addiction recovery and incarceration. DOWNLOAD EVENT FLYER
