Substance Use Disorder Treatment Month

Substance Use Disorder Treatment Month (Treatment Month) 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
