A resolution supporting the designation of October 2025 as "Substance Use & Misuse Prevention Month" to raise awareness of substance use and misuse in the United States.

This bill would designate October 2025 as Substance Use & Misuse Prevention Month to raise national attention to substance use, misuse, and recovery. It highlights that beginning substance use during adolescence is linked to later misuse. It cites 2024 data: 58 million people 12 and older binge drank; more than 73 million used an illicit drug, about 1 in 4 people; 48 million had a substance use disorder; 28 million had an illicit drug use disorder; 9 million received treatment; and more than 23 million were in recovery. It also expresses support for effective prevention programs and efforts to stem the drug addiction and overdose epidemic.
