Be the Change That Changes Lives!
Every eight minutes, someone in America dies from an unintentional drug overdose. Alcohol and drug use continue to rise.
Substance use is a major public health concern. Treatment works. Recovery is possible. But far too many people do not receive the care they need.
"Employment of substance abuse, behavioral disorder,
and mental health counselors is projected
to grow 23 percent from 2016 to 2026,
much faster than the average for all occupations."
- Bureau of Labor Statistics
