💜 Substance Use Disorder Awareness Month 💜

Peer Recovery Support Specialists (PRSS) walk alongside people in recovery—offering understanding, encouragement, and hope grounded in lived experience.

January is Substance Use Disorder Treatment Month
This month we join and communities nationwide to raise awareness about the importance of treatment and support for people living with substance use disorders. Treatment works — and recovery is possible. Let’s break the stigma, spread hope, and connect people with the help they need.
In this powerful testimonial video, Amberlynn shares her personal journey of recovery — and rebuilding her life through treatment and family support. She talks about how participating in the Celebrating Families! program helped her heal relationships, learn healthy skills, and reconnect with her loved ones while working toward long-term recovery. Her story highlights the strength found in family, community, and resilience, and how supportive, evidence-based programs can transform lives. Amberlynn’s experience reminds us that recovery is possible, and that no one has to walk that path alone.
You’re not alone. Whether you’re on your own recovery journey, supporting someone else, or simply learning, this month is a reminder that treatment works and every path to recovery is worth celebrating.
