                Proclamation 9778 of August 31, 2018

                
National Alcohol and Drug Addiction Recovery 
                Month, 2018

                By the President of the United States of America

                A Proclamation

                During National Alcohol and Drug Addiction Recovery 
                Month, we reaffirm our commitment to addressing the 
                stigma of addiction and take the opportunity to remind 
                all Americans that recovery is possible. We stand with 
                those who are seeking treatment and provide our 
                steadfast support to all who are suffering from and 
                fighting addiction.

                Addiction to alcohol and other drugs affects millions 
                of Americans. We must aggressively work to end this 
                crisis, which endangers the safety, security, and well-
                being of all Americans. Addiction threatens everything 
                that is great about our country--it shatters 
                relationships between family members, replaces self-
                sufficiency with dependency, depletes our workforce of 
                talent, and riddles communities with violence and 
                disorder. We cannot stand idle and allow those we love 
                to suffer from alcohol or drug addiction; we must be 
                leaders and help guide our friends and neighbors to 
                live drug-free.

                Every American has a role to play in stopping alcohol 
                misuse and illicit drug use and in addressing their 
                consequences. I am committed to taking action to keep 
                drugs from pouring into our country and to help those 
                who are affected by them. In March, I announced an 
                Administration-wide Initiative to Stop Opioid Abuse and 
                Reduce Drug Supply and Demand. The Initiative is 
                designed to reduce the demand for drugs through 
                education, awareness, and prevention of opioid 
                overprescription; expand access to evidence-based 
                treatment and recovery support services; and cut off 
                the flow of illicit drugs across our borders and 
                throughout American communities. Further, my 
                Administration has worked with the Congress to secure 
                more than $6 billion in new funding to help combat the 
                drug abuse and opioid epidemic through prevention, 
                treatment and recovery, interdiction, and law 
                enforcement efforts.

                This month, we express our gratitude to our Nation's 
                first responders, healthcare providers, and all family, 
                friends, and advocates striving against alcohol and 
                drug addiction. We celebrate the millions of Americans 
                who are in recovery and who contribute every day to our 
                efforts to stop drug use and addiction. Their 
                experiences and persistence reinforce the value and 
                importance of remaining hopeful and resilient when 
                faced with grave challenges. Finally, let us encourage 
                all Americans who struggle with addiction to realize 
                that recovery is possible.

                NOW, THERFORE, I, DONALD J. TRUMP, President of the 
                United States of America, by virtue of the authority 
                vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the 
                United States, do hereby proclaim September 2018 as 
                National Alcohol and Drug Addiction Recovery Month. I 
                call upon the people of the United States to observe 
                this month with appropriate programs, ceremonies, and 
                activities.

                IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this

                United States of America the two hundred and forty-
