Substance Use Disorder Treatment Month
A Time to Focus on Resources for Treatment and Recovery
Montgomery, Ala. — The Alabama Department of Mental Health (ADMH), along with partners and providers, recognizes January as Substance Use Disorder Treatment Month. The purpose of the recognition is to communicate information and give encouragement to individuals seeking help, while highlighting the journey of recovery. Substance Use Disorder Treatment Month serves as a reminder that treatment works, and no one should face substance use challenges without support.
“Substance use disorder is treatable, and recovery is possible,” said ADMH Commissioner, Kimberly Boswell. “This month and every day, we share a message of hope and offer connections to community resources, so Alabamians know they are not alone.
Access to care for prevention, treatment, and recovery of substance use disorders has increased thanks to the Oversight Commission on Alabama Opioid Settlement Funds and the work of the Alabama Opioid Overdose and Addiction Council.
Substance use disorders affect people from all walks of life, and there are supports to assist in recovery. For details on ADMH Substance Use Disorder Treatment Services’ initiatives and programs, please click here. Find a provider in your area here.
