HVAF
along with the Residential, Employment, Substance Abuse, Treatment (REST)
program held its 11th Annual Recovery Day on Sept. 19. Each
September, in support of National Recovery Month, HVAF holds an event to
reflect on the recovery efforts of individuals, families and communities
affected by addiction.
Recovery
Day is a chance to reflect on past accomplishments and set new goals and allows veterans the
opportunity to speak in support of individuals in recovery. The day’s
festivities included three speaker meetings, and also included games and
barbecue.
HVAF
provides homeless veterans with housing, counseling and other basic needs. The
organization’s recovery program aids veterans to overcome addictions to drugs
or alcohol as well as mental health barriers. Visit hvaf.org to learn more
