According to a recent National Survey on Drug Use and Health, substance misuse among pregnant individuals, including illicit substance use, misuse of prescribed medications and binge drinking, has increased year after year for the past decade. Because of societal stigma and perceptions about mothers with addiction, many individuals are reluctant to seek treatment.
If you are using alcohol or other drugs, you are not alone. It’s ok to admit you’re struggling. Colorado Community Health Alliance (CCHA) can help!

Tough as a Mother is a collaborative statewide initiative that connects Colorado mothers with dependent children to substance use disorder treatment services in their community. Tough as a Mother seeks to break the stigma by acknowledging that substance use disorder is a medical condition, not a moral shortcoming, and those who suffer are worthy and deserving of support and treatment.
