Substance addiction is a treatable brain disease. It is both a public health issue and a personal struggle for many families-made even more devastating by the stigma and lack of resources they face.

SAMA is here to help..

We are committed to empowering young people and their families with effective, research-based care and recovery management.

We lead the way in advancing addiction science, sharing what works and advocating for the support every family deserves.

“If we’re honest, there is not a person among us whose life has not been disrupted—either directly, or indirectly—by addiction. We invite you to join us to build SAMA into a leading national voice and to restore hope for families like ours who want nothing more than to heal and comfort a sick child.”
