This January will be observed as the “first ever” Substance Use Disorder Treatment Month. The goal of this observation is to raise awareness of Substance Use Disorder (SUD) treatment strategies, including addressing barriers and stigma that prevent individuals from getting help. One major point of focus is reducing the stigma about medications used to treat SUD. The movement will also encourage those affected by addiction to seek recovery, maintain sobriety, and provide support for loved ones and professionals.
Because January is seen by many as a fresh start and the ideal time to better their lives, this is the perfect time to share information and resources for SUD. Whether for yourself or for a loved one, treatment is available and recovery is possible!
