Celebrating Recovery Month: The Salvation Army's Commitment to Healing
September is Recovery Month, a time dedicated to celebrating the journey of individuals who have overcome addiction and supporting those still on the path to recovery. At The Salvation Army, we stand alongside our partners and communities to commemorate this important month, emphasizing the crucial role of Midtown Service and Treatment Center in helping hundreds of clients battle addiction each year.
Recovery Month serves as an annual reminder that recovery is possible, offering hope and encouragement to those struggling with substance abuse. It's a time when we highlight the remarkable work of organizations and individuals who have made it their mission to assist those in need.
The Salvation Army is proud to be a part of this collective effort, with our Midtown Service and Treatment Center playing a vital role in the journey to recovery.

As former client Chester Harris shared: “Midtown helped me get back on my feet. It helped me to find sobriety. Everybody here has helped me. Even my family looks at me now like, “You’re back,” said Chester. Midtown offers a comprehensive array of addiction treatment settings, including outpatient substance abuse treatment, residential drug & alcohol rehab center, outpatient drug & alcohol detox and short-term residential rehab.

Darien Tobias, Midtown Family Therapist
Midtown Family Therapist Darien Tobias shared on the person-centered support provided to clients: “Mental health and addiction go hand in hand. People are dealing with so many things and can get overwhelmed. Some people end up turning to drugs and becoming addicted. When I talk with clients, we often discover that they are self-medicating with drugs. That can often be due to trauma they have experienced in their lives. At Midtown we try to help each client with their challenges, recognizing that everyone is different and unique.”
