How it Works?

About Lift The Label
Lift The Label is a public awareness campaign that strives to remove damaging labels and stigma that prevent those with addiction from seeking effective treatment. The campaign is run by the Colorado Behavioral Health Administration and is funded through a grant from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), an agency within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services that leads public health efforts to advance the behavioral health of the nation.

Learn more about treatment resources, watch and read stories of Colorado residents, and learn how to support a loved one at LiftTheLabel.org.
