Each September, tens of thousands of prevention, treatment, and recovery programs and facilities around the country celebrate Recovery Month. They speak about strides made by those in recovery and share their success stories with their neighbors, friends, and colleagues. In doing so, everyone helps to increase awareness and foster a greater understanding about mental and substance use disorders.

The New York State Dental Association, through its Committee on Substance Use Disorder and Well-Being, has aided hundreds of dentists whose professional careers, families and very lives are threatened by addiction and substance use disorder.

For those who are seeking treatment but cannot afford inpatient rehabilitation, the New York State Dental Foundation steps in with funding available through the Dr. Thomas H. Sullivan Substance Abuse Grant Program.

Thanks to the compassion and generosity of people like you, the Sullivan Grant Program has become a lifeline for New York dental professionals, helping them to conquer their illness and safely return to professional practice.
