NASADAD 2025 National Recovery Month Collage
NASADAD is pleased to share the 2025 NASADAD National Recovery Month Collage!
National Recovery Month is an annual observance held each September dedicated to celebrating people in recovery from substance use disorder (SUD) and raising awareness for critical recovery support services. This year’s National Recovery Month theme is: Recovery is REAL (Restoring Every Aspect of Life). Through this theme, National Recovery Month seeks to elevate recovery support services and the effectiveness of SUD services to educate the public, stakeholders, and communities that recovery from SUD is real and possible for everyone.
NASADAD members are the lead agency in each State or jurisdiction responsible for managing the publicly funded substance use system across prevention, treatment, and recovery. This month, our staff and Members wear purple to celebrate recovery and promote awareness of SUD issues. NASADAD is grateful for the work all our members do in their States and jurisdictions to support recovery every day of the year.
Thank you to all who participated.
New State Opioid Response (SOR) Thematic Briefs
NASADAD has developed four new thematic briefs that highlight common strategies and services states have implemented for opioid and stimulant misuse and use disorders using SOR grant funding. These briefs describe state opioid overdose response programs, services for veterans, initiatives for young adults, and innovations across the justice and re-entry continuum. The documents are linked below.
Innovations Across the Justice and Re-entry Continuum
Opioid Overdose Response Programs
These briefs build upon NASADAD’s interactive map that describes the impact of the SOR grant across the country. It includes state and territorial-specific briefs that describe highlights of each state substance use agency’s use of SOR funds across the continuum of care. The interactive map is also available on NASADAD’s website: https://nasadad.org/opioid-state-targeted-response-map/
