“The counselors, teachers, and healthcare experts on our front lines combatting addiction, especially during this challenging COVID-19 pandemic, deserve our support for their life-changing work,” said Congressman Johnson.
As Co-Chair of the House Addiction Treatment and Recovery Caucus, I applaud the tireless work of addiction professionals, and I look forward to continuing to work with them to end this addiction epidemic once and for all,” said Congressman Ryan. Everyone in need of addiction treatment or in recovery should have the resources they need to heal, and we wouldn’t be able to accomplish that without those who devote every day to helping their fellow Ohioans. “The past year was particularly challenging both for those struggling with addiction and substance use disorders and for the selfless men and women tirelessly working to treat and counsel those individuals. We must continue to do everything in our power to support them and their life-saving work on the front lines of our nation’s addiction crisis.” I’m proud to introduce this bipartisan resolution to recognize the role addiction professionals play in successful substance use disorder treatment and counseling.
