SEPTEMBER IS
NATIONAL ALCOHOL AND DRUG ADDICTION RECOVERY MONTH |
|
In 2000, among persons aged 18 and older, American Indians and Alaska
Natives were most likely to report past year dependence or abuse for
any illicit drug or alcohol (10.0%), followed by multiracial
individuals (9.8%), Hispanics/Latinos (7.0%), non-Hispanic whites
(6.6%), non-Hispanics blacks (5.9%), Asians (3.6%), and Native
Hawaiians and Other Pacific Islanders (3.5%). |
The recovery month effort aims to promote the societal benefits of
alcohol and drug use disorder treatment, laud the contributions of
treatment providers and promote the message that recovery from
alcohol and drug use disorders in all its forms is possible. |
