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 resolution designates October 2025 as "Substance Use & Misuse Prevention Month" to raise public awareness about substance use and misuse in the United States. It supports existing prevention programs, efforts to address the drug addiction and overdose epidemic, and the designated awareness month. As a symbolic gesture, it does not create new laws or funding but aims to highlight the issue using 2024 statistics (e.g., 73 million people aged 12+ using illicit drugs). The resolution is non-binding and focuses on awareness, not policy changes.
