Along with this prestigious recognition is a donation of billboards from Clear Channel Communications featuring the award recipients. Keep your eyes open for these billboards scattered throughout the Houston community.

National Recovery Month

September is observed as National Recovery Month. Millions of Americans’ lives have been transformed through recovery, and National Recovery Month provides a moment in time to celebrate their accomplishments.

This September we celebrate all those whose lives have been transformed through recovery including Santa Maria alumni. Santa Maria is a proud employer of many individuals with lived experiences in recovery. This includes Peer Recovery Coaches who provide mentoring to reduce barriers to recovery and re-entry, respond to challenges encountered and provide care coordination and linkage to community resources for education, employment, housing, health, social and spiritual needs.
