Recovery Month 2025

August 21st is a coordinated day of response by grassroots fentanyl awareness organizations and families impacted by fentanyl to educate the public about the dangers of illicit fentanyl.

Visit the Georgetown County Courthouse at 401 Cleland St. between August 21, 2025 and August 29, 2025 to help us remember our 44 community members who died from overdose in 2024 and 2025.

Join WakeUp Carolina and our community partners as we honor loved ones lost to substances and the hearts learning to carry both grief and love at the 2nd annual Berkeley County Light the Way for Hope Overdose Awareness Day.

Please join WakeUp Carolina, the Charleston Center, and the Mount Pleasant Police Department in honoring our loved ones for the 7th annual Light the Way for Hope Overdose Awareness Day.

To honor a loved one at the event, please provide a photo, name, and age and send to Karen at honoringourchildren@gmail.com.

National Recovery Month (Recovery Month), which started in 1989, is observed every September to promote and support new evidence-based treatment and recovery practices, the nation’s strong and proud recovery community, and the dedication of service providers and communities who make recovery possible. Trinity Behavioral Care aims to increase public awareness surrounding mental health and addiction recovery in Marion County, Dillon County and Marlboro County. This year we would like to combine the colors of purple and green. Purple symbolizes recovery and the color green symbolizes growth.
