                        NATIONAL RECOVERY MONTH

  Mr. WARNOCK. Mr. President, today I would like to recognize September 
as National Recovery Month, a time for us to honor our Nation's 
recovery community. This community includes

those who are battling addiction and the service providers who are 
dedicated to supporting them.
  On this occasion, I want to extend my appreciation to Georgia's Cobb 
County DUI Court, which celebrated its 15th anniversary and 48th 
commencement ceremony on September 19, 2023. Founded in 2008 by the 
Honorable Melodie H. Clayton and now presided over by the Honorable 
Eric A. Brewton, this court plays an important role in supporting 
individuals as they work towards sobriety.
  Since its implementation, the program has admitted over 700 
participants and graduated over 519 individuals. The program's 
achievements have been recognized by Georgia's Council of 
Accountability Court Judges. The dedication of the Cobb County DUI 
Court team has been instrumental in establishing alternatives to 
incarceration and providing support to individuals, their families, and 
the entire community.
  There is no greater way to celebrate National Recovery Month than by 
acknowledging the hard work of recovery professionals and participants 
as they celebrate 15 years of success.
