MOMSTELL'S mission is to promote awareness and eliminate the stigma of substance abuse through improving treatment, education, legislation, policy and prevention.

Our goal is to join concerned parents and family members to work together for positive change regarding substance abuse issues.  Addiction is a disease that must be addressed with quality treatment that is readily available for anyone who needs it. Families must receive support services in order to effectively help their addicted loved one. As parents and family members unite into "one voice," positive change in substance abuse treatment, education, legislation, policies and prevention will take place.

"As we unite our voices together to speak up and speak out, we will continue to make positive changes within the substance abuse treatment system" 

 --Sharon L. Smith - Founder
