MCP, INC. AND MAYOR SIMS TO HOLD PROCLAMATION SIGNING

An estimated 22.6 million people in the United States suffer from substance use disorders, and every year 4 million people nationally are able to receive the treatment they need. To celebrate individuals in long term recovery and their families, as well as the treatment providers that serve our communities, Mississippi Community Partnership is hosting a celebration for the signing of the National Alcohol and Drug Addiction Recovery Month Proclamation by Walnut Grove’s Mayor, Grady Sims. His signature will proclaim the month of September National Alcohol and Drug Addiction Recovery Month, encouraging the residents of Walnut Grove, MS to participate. Kicking off the celebration is guest speaker Marcus Ellis who serves as the 8th Judicial Drug Court Coordinator.

The celebration is a part of the 19th annual observance of National Alcohol and Drug Addiction Recovery Month and will address this year’s theme, “Join the Voices for Recovery: Real People, Real Recovery.” Recovery Month is a nationwide celebration of people in long term recovery from substance use disorders who have a renewed outlook on life and the treatment providers who help them reclaim their lives.
