April Is Alcohol Awareness Month

(Updated: April 3, 2023, 5:45 a.m.)

Alcohol is the most commonly used addictive substance in the United States.

Alcohol addiction and excessive alcohol misuse affect people of all ages, gender, and ethnicities.

If you or someone you know and love is a Medicare beneficiary, help is available.

Medicare covers an annual screening for all beneficiaries.

For those that screen positive, Medicare covers up to four counseling interventions per year.

Ask a SHIIP counselor for more information.
