January 14, 2025In January, the Center for Substance Abuse Treatment at the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) will be kicking off the first national Substance Use Disorder Treatment Month – a time to raise awareness of the benefits and availability of evidence-based treatments for people with a substance use disorder. We know so many people view January as a time to take stock, reset, and take steps toward healthier living. What better time for us to highlight information and resources that can help support treatment and recovery from a substance use disorder?
So, check out our Treatment Month toolkit at samhsa.gov/sudtm, and keep your eyes on all of SAMHSA’s social media platforms. There you’ll find our tips, resources and even webinars to help people learn more about what substance use disorder is and how it can be effectively treated.
We’ll have information for people asking questions about their own substance use, whether from alcohol to other drugs. Tune in if you’re a family member concerned about a loved one’s use of substances. And we’ll have information for health care practitioners who are so vital to addressing the health condition that is addiction. Because Treatment Works, and Recovery is Possible!
