Congress: Continue Vital Funding for Addiction and Mental Health Recovery Support Services
Recovery from substance use and mental health challenges is essential to maintaining public health and requires our sustained effort and support.
Proposed cuts to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) threaten the continued existence of thousands of vital, local programs that millions of Americans depend on for rebuilding their lives and communities.
This moment is about more than just protecting budgets. We also call on leaders to recognize individuals’ lived experience—sustained recovery is possible only when supported as a pillar of our nation's healthcare policy and infrastructure.
Join us in calling on Congress to:
- Continue to fund recovery infrastructure, including programs like the Center for Addiction Recovery Support (CARS), Building Communities of Recovery (BCOR), Recovery Community Services Program (RCSP), and reentry support.
- Recognize peer-led and community-based services as vital to behavioral health and the recovery ecosystem
