Reduce Substance Abuse
Mission
My mission is to raise awareness about global substance abuse, reduce stigma surrounding addiction, and provide accessible, evidence-based resources to support individuals, families, and communities in addressing this crisis. The website aims to educate the public, connect users to harm reduction and treatment services, and inspire collective action through advocacy and storytelling.
Drug abuse isn’t limited to the United States.
it doesn’t discriminate BASED ON demographics or borders.
As many as 35 million people worldwide are dealing with substance abuse or addiction in some form.
