Alcohol Awareness Month is a national observance designed by the National Council on Alcoholism and Drug Dependence (NCADD) to raise awareness as well as increase outreach efforts and public education regarding the dangerous impacts of alcoholism and other issues related to alcohol abuse.
A major aspect of Alcohol Awareness Month is addressing the stigmas associated with alcoholism and substance abuse. At CADS, we understand that substance abuse can happen to anyone at any age. That is why we are working to raise awareness in our community to help end harmful stigmas surrounding substance abuse and alcoholism as well as helping those who are struggling to get the support and treatment needed to start their journey to recovery.
