Miles for Recovery:

Hansei Solutions and The N.O.W. Matters More Foundation Join Forces for National Recovery Month

September marks National Recovery Month, a time when the nation unites to support individuals on their journey to recovery from addiction and mental health challenges. This month is about acknowledging the strength of the recovery community, celebrating stories of hope and healing, and advocating for evidence-based treatment practices.

Hansei is a catalyst for change, advocating for quality behavioral health treatment, and in the spirit of this observance, we are teaming up with The N.O.W. Matters More Foundation to raise awareness and funds through a Miles for Recovery Challenge.

About N.O.W. Matters More

N.O.W. Matters More stands for “Needs Over Wants,” as a reminder that our needs are much more important than our wants. This non-profit organization helps individuals and families navigate the difficulties of vetting programs for mental health and substance abuse treatment. It’s understood that recovery is not a one-size-fits-all journey. These people champion creative efforts and solutions for the prevention, education, and treatment of substance abuse and the disease of addiction. 

The N.O.W. Matters More Foundation believes that everyone knows someone who has suffered from the disease of addiction. 

Luis A. Delgado, CAP, Founder of The N.O.W. Matters More Foundation, shares, 

“All too often, we judge and stigmatize those that have addiction by those currently destroying their lives and the lives of others. However, as a person in recovery, I know that recovery is possible and incredibly rewarding in more ways than I could ever describe.

I was inspired to help others find their path to recovery by removing as many barriers to entry as possible. Sometimes it’s as simple as knowing where to go. Sometimes it’s helping pay a portion of their out-of-pocket expenses or travel to treatment. And sometimes, it’s as much as getting a full scholarship from a qualified program. Regardless of how it’s done, we provide that assistance to get on that path NOW because tomorrow never comes.

The most rewarding payoff is receiving calls and messages from those we have helped. Countless stories of how they were on the edge of giving up, didn’t think anyone cared and had no true belief that they would ever be in recovery. Yet they are. This keeps us doing what we do and why we need others to join us in whatever way possible.”

A Powerful Partnership 

The collaboration between Hansei Solutions and The N.O.W. Matters More Foundation exemplifies the true spirit of National Recovery Month. It showcases the power of community, compassion, and collective action in driving positive change for individuals seeking recovery from addiction and mental health challenges. By participating in the Miles for Recovery Challenge and supporting The N.O.W. Matters More Foundation, we become a part of a movement that empowers individuals, breaks down barriers, and spreads hope.

Miles for Recovery: Turning Steps into Dollars

This challenge is an initiative that encourages participation from all corners of our community. For every mile that’s walked throughout September, a donation will be made to The N.O.W. Matters More Foundation. This challenge turns physical activity into a tangible contribution toward supporting individuals seeking recovery. It’s a reminder that every step taken carries the potential to make a positive impact in someone’s life.
