Senate would support October 2026 as 'Substance Use & Misuse Prevention Month' to boost awareness.

The Senate would officially support designating October 2026 as 'Substance Use & Misuse Prevention Month.' This resolution aims to raise awareness about substance use and misuse across the United States. It would also show Senate support for programs that prevent substance use and help address the drug addiction and overdose crisis.

What Would Change

Today, October 2026 does not have an official Senate designation as 'Substance Use & Misuse Prevention Month.' The Senate also does not formally support specific programs to prevent substance use or address the drug crisis through this type of resolution. If this resolution passes, the Senate would formally support designating October 2026 as 'Substance Use & Misuse Prevention Month' and would express its support for prevention and addiction programs.

Key Provisions
