This January, the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) kicked off the first national Substance Use Disorder Treatment Month – a time to raise awareness of the benefits and availability of evidence-based treatments for people with substance use disorder.
This awareness event aims to eliminate the stigma surrounding treatment, encourage those who are already seeking treatment and promote health care best practices.
Hospitals across the state serve patients every day who experience substance use disorders, and understanding the treatment options helps to ensure all patients receive the best care possible.
