Medicaid is a lifeline for millions of people living with substance use and mental health conditions and the services it supports are saving lives.❤️‍🩹

We’re sharing the “Protecting Medicaid: The Stakes for Substance Use” Social Media Toolkit to help advocates and organizations raise awareness about what’s at risk and why protecting access to treatment and recovery services matters. 📣

In 2024, overdose deaths dropped 27% the largest single-year decline in decades showing that treatment and recovery supports are working. 📉 Now is the time to protect the progress we’ve made. 💜
