American Society of Addiction Medicine - ASAM

August 31 marks #InternationalOverdoseAwarenessDay. Today, and every day, we remember those we've lost and stand with the families, friends, and communities impacted by the overdose crisis. We remember, and we act. Through education, advocacy, and quality care initiatives, we remain committed to preventing overdose, expanding access to evidence-based addiction care, and saving lives.

46% of American adults have a will. The rest have no plan in place for the people, and the causes, they care about. The American Society of Addiction Medicine is the physician-led professional community advancing the prevention, treatment, and study of the disease of addiction. Make-A-Will Month, held each August, is a fitting time to plan with the same long view that recovery demands. As our gift to you, ASAM has partnered with FreeWill on a will-writing tool available at no cost. Writing your will protects your family, and it lets you decide whether to help sustain the education, guidelines, and research that strengthen addiction care.
