85 million Americans have been affected a great deal by drug and alcohol addiction. Ninety percent of all adults with drug or drinking problems started using before they were 18 years old.
You Are Not Alone is a campaign that calls on all those impacted by drug and alcohol addiction — individuals, families, communities and companies — to come forward, share stories and help teens and young adults get the help they need to recover and get well (through treatment centers, rehab, 12-step programs and other types of community support and help).
By sharing addiction and recovery stories we break through the stigma and discrimination that people with drug or drinking problems face. You Are Not Alone will let young people and the families of teens and young adults who are struggling with drug and alcohol addiction know that they are not alone and that they're united with millions of other the families who want their loved ones to get the help they need to recover.
You Are Not Alone and its related resources at drugfree.org encourages families to seek help for teens' and young adults' alcohol and drug problems, and ultimately find a path to sustained recovery and a new life, free from addiction.
Through numbers, in faces, and in stories, it is clear: if you have been touched by drinking and other drug problems, you are not alone. There is help and there is hope.
By sharing our stories and messages, we will let teens and parents experience having others by their side. As more and more people share their addiction and recovery stories, we will lift the veil of silence on this misunderstood problem. Our hope is to support the millions of our friends, neighbors and loved ones on their journeys to health and wellness.
We would like to gratefully acknowledge the contribution of the SAG-AFTRA in the ongoing success of this initiative.
