History

In April 2021 the NCADD website was acquired by JBKM Ltd. In December 2021 the website was relaunched under its new brand name, Recovered. In July 2023, Recovered launched the "Recovered Trustscore", an independent rating system for rehab centers "designed to rank all rehab centers and healthcare providers listed on their site to ensure that visitors find access to the best treatment in their area for the specific substance use disorder or co-occurring condition they have."

Recovered provides resources on topics related to substance abuse, substance use disorder treatment, mental health, current affairs in healthcare, and others. All of their resources are fact-checked by a medical review team composed of healthcare professionals, addiction specialists, and counselors to ensure “that everything you read on our site is trustworthy and factual.” They do not offer medical, psychiatric, psychological, or physical health advice.

Created by NCADD in 1987, the campaign is intended to increase community awareness around issues relating to alcohol abuse, reduce stigma, and provide tools for people seeking help for alcohol addiction. Recovered provides resources to various organizations such as health departments and educational institutes looking to support Alcohol Awareness Month throughout the country.
