National Addictions Awareness Week 


National Addictions Awareness Week (NAAW) highlights solutions to help address alcohol- and other drug-related harms. It’s an opportunity for people in Canada to learn more about prevention and harm reduction, talk about treatment and recovery, and discuss solutions for change.

In 2025, NAAW will be running from November 16 to 22. We will release more details on our website about NAAW 2025 this summer.

Stay tuned! 

Disclaimer

CCSA understands that each person who uses substances has their own experiences, perspectives and preferred language. We appreciate that the term “addiction” can be stigmatizing for some people and an important point of discussion for other people. Our goal is to raise awareness about substance use health, addiction and people who use substances to improve people’s health and well-being.

The discussion around NAAW can be emotionally challenging. We encourage people to reach out for help or get support in these conversations.
