Did you Know ?

According to the National Council on Alcoholism and Drug Dependence (NCADD), over 23 million people over the age of 12 are addicted to alcohol and other drugs, which affects millions more people.

Early substance use significantly increases the risk of addiction later in life. Family history can also play a significant role in the possibility of the likelihood of addiction.

If you know someone struggling with addiction, reach out for support.
