Chelsea’s Season: Full Circle with Recovery Resource Council
Everyone knows fall is around the corner. Here in Texas, September may not bring the cooler weather, but in addition to all things pumpkin, it is National Recovery Month. This national observance is held every September to educate Americans that substance use treatment and mental health services can enable those with mental and substance use disorders to live healthy and rewarding lives. Changes in seasons can amplify addiction struggles for some, with busy schedules and the start of the holiday season. Chelsea McGinnis with the Recovery Resource Council (RRC) in Dallas knows firsthand the effects of change. Her personal story includes a season of addiction, a road to recovery, and a path forward for helping others as a certified Recovery Support Peer Specialist at RRC.
