⚠️ People fear what they don’t know.

🏠 When we tell real stories about families impacted by addiction, we become less likely to judge others who are living with substance use disorders – a treatable chronic health condition.

Learning from lived experience matters. And that’s exactly what we’re doing.

Once someone has a substance use disorder, they’re not using substances to feel good — they’re using them to feel normal.

Over time, the brain requires more and more just to function at a baseline level, leading to changes in decision making, memory, judgment, and behavior control.

That’s why addiction is a health condition — and why treatment and support matter.

đźš« Addiction is often punished instead of treated.

It’s one of the only medical conditions that’s routinely handled like a crime—not a health issue. But decades of evidence show that punishment doesn’t stop drug use or prevent overdoses.

🏥 Addiction is a chronic, treatable disease. When we lead with science, compassion, and access to quality care, we save lives, strengthen families, and build healthier communities.

❤️ It’s time to treat addiction like the medical condition it is—and make recovery possible for everyone.

🖤❤️💚 This month, we honor Black communities, leaders, and families working to build stronger, healthier futures.

We also recognize that African Americans often face extra barriers when seeking help for addiction—like limited access to treatment and added stigma. That’s why Shatterproof is focused on improving conditions for everyone.

Shatterproof welcomes the White House’s announcement of the Great American Recovery Initiative — a new federal effort to coordinate a national response to the addiction crisis.

This Executive Order recognizes what families already know: addiction is a chronic, treatable disease that affects every community. More than 48 million people in the U.S. are living with substance use disorder, yet only about 1 in 5 who need treatment receive it — and even fewer get evidence-based care.

For years, Shatterproof has worked alongside federal leaders, providers, employers, and families to help fix a broken addiction care system. As this initiative moves forward, we stand ready to ensure quality, accountability, prevention, and family-centered solutions remain front and center.

Most importantly, people with lived experience must help guide what comes next.

As this initiative moves forward, we want to hear from you: what would meaningful progress on addiction prevention and recovery look like for you or your family?
