September 28, 2011
Ventura, CACelebrating Recovery Month
"Millions of Americans in recovery are living proof that drug addiction is a disease that can be successfully treated." - Office of National Drug Control Policy
The Ventura County Behavioral Health Department, with support from the Alcohol and Drug Advisory Board of Ventura County, celebrated National Recovery Month 2011 in September. This year’s Recovery Month theme, “Join the Voices for Recovery – Recovery Benefits Everyone,” aimed to educate the public on the positive changes that national health care reform will have on access to needed recovery services for substance use and mental disorders.We celebrate the journey of those in recovery, just as we would those who are managing other health conditions such as hypertension, diabetes, asthma and heart disease. Recovery Month spreads the positive message that behavioral health is essential to overall health, that prevention works, treatment is effective and people can and do recover.
This year’s conference, Trauma-Informed Care: An Essential Element of Recovery, focused on offering another way of understanding addictions.

Campaign
2011
The Social Host Laws Radio Campaign was launched in spring of 2011 to highlight the issues related to underage & binge drinking, and to home parties in particular. There are “social host laws” in Ventura County that hold adults responsible for parties where alcohol is served to underage people. The adult who owns or rents the property is responsible, no matter who provides the alcohol. The fines vary by community, but are up to $2,500. Listen to our campaigns.
