BISMARCK -- The Office of the First Lady, Office of Recovery Reinvented and North Dakota Health and Human Services' (HHS) Behavioral Health Division is celebrating North Dakotans and their family members in recovery, recognizing the dedicated individuals who provide prevention, treatment, and recovery services and supports, and raising awareness about programs and services that can support people to achieve recovery.
Individuals, family members and community members can join in this celebration by wearing a purple article of clothing or accessory, writing on a sign about why you celebrate recovery, taking a picture of yourself (or a group!) and sending to info@recoveryreinvented.com. Pictures will be posted on social media and may be shared during Recovery Reinvented Thursday, Oct. 5, in Minot.
The state partners with many community-based agencies to provide services that can help people seeking recovery from behavioral health conditions including mental health and substance use disorders (SUD). Some of these services and supports include:
-- The Substance Use Disorder (SUD) Voucher Program was established to address barriers to treatment and increase the ability of people to access treatment and recovery services for substance use disorders.
-- Recovery Talk offers an opportunity to connect with a peer support specialist for free, 24/7 by calling or texting 291-7901.
-- The Recovery Housing Assistance Program provides up to 12 weeks of an eligible individual's living expenses to an approved Recovery Housing Assistance Program provider
-- The agency's eight regional human service centers provide community-based behavioral health services to individuals with chronic, serious mental illness and addiction. Crisis response services are also available.
Anyone experiencing a behavioral health crisis can call the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline for immediate help.
