Hoke County Recognizes September as Recovery Month 💜

At the September 8, 2026 meeting, the Hoke County Board of Commissioners recognized September as Recovery Month in Hoke County, highlighting the importance of prevention, treatment, recovery, and reducing the stigma surrounding substance use disorders. The proclamation emphasizes that behavioral health is essential to overall health and that people can and do recover.

The Board was pleased to welcome Cecelia Peers, MA, Regional Vice President (Southern) with Trillium Health Resources, who joined the Commissioners in recognition of Recovery Month. Trillium serves Hoke County as part of its Southern Region and works with communities to connect individuals and families with behavioral health resources and support.

Hoke County remains committed to supporting prevention efforts, expanding access to treatment, reducing overdoses, and recognizing the individuals, families, providers, and community partners who are part of the recovery journey.

Recovery is possible. Recovery is worth celebrating. 💜

We appreciate everyone’s patience while our team worked quickly and safely to get service back online. If you continue to experience issues, please contact Hoke County Utilities.
Thank you for your understanding and support as we work to keep your water system reliable.

Hoke County Utilities: A water main break has occurred that is affecting the Carolina Drive/Woodbury Locations and there may be some other subdivision affected.
