Addiction
Substance use disorder (SUD) is a chronic disease like diabetes. It can be treated with medication and behavioral therapy, which have been proven to work much more effectively than just suddenly stopping. People can and do recover from SUDs. Success rates for SUD treatment are similar to success rates for the treatment of asthma.
People dealing with SUDs need compassion. When people do not feel welcome or accepted, they’re less likely to be honest and ask for help so they can create stability in their lives and be productive members of society.
Anyone can become addicted. In fact, many people with substance use disorders have jobs and families and do not exhibit obvious challenges in everyday functioning.

Alcohol Use
Drinking too much puts you at risk for serious health consequences, including injuries and many diseases.
There is no known safe amount of alcohol to drink while pregnant and there is no safe time to drink alcohol during pregnancy. All types of alcohol can be harmful, including all wines and beer. Do not drink if you are pregnant, might be pregnant, or are trying to get pregnant.
Everyone can benefit from drinking less alcohol or not drinking at all.
