calendar to attend on Thursday, September 16, 2010, @ 11:00-11:45 am, in the

a free event)</b> </span><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Recovery
Month is an annual observance that takes place during the month of September.
The Recovery Month observance highlights the societal benefits of substance
abuse treatment, lauds the contributions of treatment providers and promotes
the message that recovery from substance abuse in all its forms is possible.
The observance also encourages citizens to take action to help expand and
improve the availability of effective substance abuse treatment for those in
need. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

2001, of a drug overdose at a party. </span><span style='font-size:14.0pt;

snorting a mix of cocaine and heroin. After his son's death, Peņa joined
support groups and anti-drug organizations and, through the fog of depression,
came to realize that few treatment centers were available to local residents in
Texas. "Our political leaders and our population in general do not value
these sort of services," Peņa said. Aaron Peņa Jr., a Texas attorney who
ran unopposed for the District 40 state representative's seat, recently walked
to the state capitol to highlight the need for better mental health and
substance abuse programs across Texas, the San Antonio Express-News reported. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
