📊 Drug & Alcohol Facts Week

Drug & Alcohol Facts Week is about cutting through myths and misinformation and replacing them with facts, science, and understanding.

Here’s one important fact to know: in the U.S., more than 40 million people ages 12 and older are living with some form of substance use addiction. This isn’t a rare issue—it affects individuals, families, and communities across the country.

By sharing accurate information, Drug & Alcohol Facts Week helps reduce stigma, encourages informed conversations, and empowers people to seek help, support prevention efforts, and make healthier choices.

Knowledge matters. Facts save lives.

💙 There Is More Than One Path to Recovery

Recovery from substance use disorder looks different for everyone. For some people, one effective path includes Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT).

MAT combines FDA-approved medications with counseling and support to help restore brain chemistry, reduce cravings, and stabilize the body. This stability can give people the space they need to heal, rebuild routines, and focus on recovery.

There’s a lot of misinformation about MAT. That’s why it’s important to rely on evidence-based information and medical experts — not rumors or stigma. MAT is a proven treatment option that has helped many people stay engaged in recovery and reduce the risk of overdose.

If you’re exploring treatment options for yourself or someone you care about, understanding the facts matters.

Recovery has many paths. Support, science, and accurate information can make all the difference.

❄️ Mid-Winter Check-In

For many people, the shorter day and cold weather of winter can take a toll on mental well-being and recovery. Seasonal depression, isolation, and added stress can make it harder to stay connected and supported — especially for those navigating recovery.

If this season is feeling heavier than expected, you’re not alone. Reaching out, staying connected, and using available resources can help support both mental health and recovery through the winter months.

Support is available when you need it.
