46.5 million American adults experienced a substance use disorder within the last year.
October is #NationalSubstanceUseandMisusePreventionMonth. Substance use deeply affects everyone involved, especially our family and friends. While substance use can be devastating for those experiencing it and those around them, hope and recovery are still possible.
Love is still there. Recovery can be too.

If you or someone you know is struggling with substance use, you are not alone. Taking a mental health test online is a great first step towards recovery. Take a free, anonymous addiction test with Mental Health America’s National Screening Program at the 🔗 in our bio.
