Now is time to address addiction, reinvent recovery
No one dreams of becoming ad-
dicted to drugs or alcohol.
But the reality is one in seven
Americans will face a substance ad-
diction, according to the U.S. sur-
geon general.
The disease of addiction has de-
stroyed families and impacted busi-
nesses and communities across North
Dakota. By working together, we can
make a difference by saving lives,
preventing addiction and supporting
those in recovery.
On Sept. 26, Gov. Doug Burgum
and I hosted Recovery Reinvented,
an initiative to eliminate the shame
and stigma of addiction in North
Dakota. The shame and the stigma of
being an alcoholic influenced my
own decision to not seek treatment
and to keep my disease hidden, and I
am not alone. Sadly, only one in 10
people who need treatment for ad-
diction actually seek treatment, but
treatment can and does work.
There is hope, and we are com-
mitted to finding solutions and mak:
ing a positive impact. We are uniting
to find solutions to help people in our
state affected by the disease of ad-
diction. There is inspiring proof all
around us that recovery is possible.
We all play a part in reinventing
recovery in North Dakota. Advocacy
is key when elected officials are pri-
oritizing resources to address addic-

tion. We can advance policy by com-
ing together and lending our faces
and voices to this cause. Communi-
ties can develop recovery community
organizations to spread the message
that addiction is a disease, eliminate
the shame and stigma of addiction
and communicate that treatment can
be effective and recovery is possible.
The governor and I were honored
to have so many incredible speakers
join us at Recovery Reinvented and
share their expertise, passion and
support for the state's efforts. We are
grateful for the opportunity to build
on the work of those who have been
supporting recovery as we work to-
gether as a community to reinvent re-
covery.
The governor and I presented
awards at Recovery Reinvented to in-
dividuals who have made a signifi-
cant impact in their communities by
implementing effective and innova-
tive solutions for addiction and re-
covery. We are grateful for their
lasting contributions and commit-
ment to finding solutions for the dis-
ease of addiction and giving hope to
so many! •
Through .Recovery Reinvented,
nine actions have been announced,
providing opportunities for individu-
als, businesses, faith- or cultural-
based organizations, and
communities to become active par-
ticipants in reinventing recovery.

zation or become a Free Through Re-
covery provider.
Addiction needs tobe embraced
in our society like any other chronic,
progressively fatal illness or disease
before real changes can be made .in
our communities and before the
shame and stigma can be eliminated.
The governor and I are working to
reinvent recovery by taking our ad-
vocacy to the streets and asking
North Dakotans to start talking about
addiction.
Now is the time to put aside
stereotypes and stop intolerance.
Now is the time to come together to
support those suffering from the dis-
ease of addiction. There is no shame
in addiction and there is so much
hope in recovery.
