Recovery
People in recovery are joining forces with friends and family, learning to talk about their experiences and successes in ways that do not compromise twelve-step traditions of anonymity.

Drug Courts
Drug courts are designed to help addicted individuals facing criminal charges get through treatment.

Screening & Brief Intervention
The goals of screening and brief intervention are to reduce risky substance use before people become dependent or addicted.

Harm Reduction
There has been a long-running heated political and public debate about whether harm reduction approaches are right or wrong. Frequently, the participants involved in the debate take extreme positions.

Buprenorphine
With the approval of buprenorphine and buprenorphine/naloxone medications for outpatient treatment, individuals with opiate addiction now have another potentially valuable treatment modality at their disposal.

Alcohol Industry
Because the alcohol industry owes an enormous portion of its profits to illegal, dangerous and harmful drinking, it bears a responsibility to help solve these costly and devastating public health problems.

HIV & Substance Use Disorders
With injection drug use being the second leading cause of new HIV infections, it's time to create understanding of the interconnected relationship of addictions and HIV.

Discrimination
Discrimination against people with addictions restricts their access to education, housing, employment, financial assistance, and health care, which often discourages people from seeking treatment.

Parity
Parity is a key public policy reform that will improve access to appropriate and adequate treatment for alcohol and drug addiction.

Treatment Availability
No other disease goes untreated to anywhere near the extent that alcohol and drug addiction does. Paying for services now will save money later.

Club Drugs
Across the country, teens and young adults enjoy all-night dance parties known as "raves" and increasingly encounter more than just music.

Inhalants
Hundreds of children each year die from inhalant use. But many parents and educators remain ignorant of this "silent epidemic."

Drinking & Driving
States with tough drunk driving laws have a lower death rate due to alcohol-related car crashes.

College Drinking
Excessive drinking presents a major problem on college campuses nationwide.

Tobacco & Youth
It is illegal for anyone under 18 to purchase tobacco, yet this law is rarely a deterrent to keep youth away from cigarettes.
