National Recovery Month
hosted by the UTRGV Collegiate Recovery Program
The UTRGV Collegiate Recovery Program would like to invite you to take part in our upcoming celebration of National Recovery Awareness Month. Throughout the month of September, we will be hosting several events to engage the university and surrounding communities in a vibrant discussion about recovery from addiction while showcasing the hope and enrichment recovery brings to individuals, families, and communities. Most of all we want to show everyone that recovery is possible! We look forward to seeing everyone at our events.
