Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA)
Mission: To build resilience and facilitate recovery for people with or at risk for substance abuse and mental illness.
The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) provides leadership and national focus to reduce national health problems resulting from substance abuse, and to foster improvements in the mental health of Americans through increased knowledge and the advancement of effective strategies for dealing with these health problems.
SAMHSA supports programs, policy, and knowledge development about substance abuse prevention, addiction treatment, and mental health services. SAMHSA programs translate research to practice – bringing new science-based knowledge to community-based services for people with or at risk for mental and substance abuse disorders. SAMHSA will be at the forefront to promote a life in the community for everyone with or at risk for mental and substance abuse disorders and an opportunity for a fulfilling life that includes a job, a home, and meaningful relationships with family and friends.
