Substance Use Disorder Treatment Month (Treatment Month), which will launch in January 2025, serves to support:
- People contemplating or seeking help for their substance use
- Practitioners treating or considering treating substance use disorder
- Friends, family, and loved ones of those with substance use conditions
By raising awareness of treatment, including medications to treat substance use disorders, SAMHSA seeks to:
- Eliminate stigma surrounding treatment, including medications used to treat substance use disorders
- Encourage those on their treatment and recovery journey
- Promote best practices such as screening, intervention, and treatment of substance use disorders by health care providers
