Addiction kills more Americans than car crashes or gun violence.
Every day, 174 of our sons, daughters, and loved ones die from drug overdoses.
Only 1 in 10 Americans with addiction receives any form of treatment—and that treatment is rarely based on proven research.
Countless families experience so much shame and stigma, pain and suffering.
This crisis has to stop. Together, we can make it stop. And change starts with you.
Join the addiction advocacy movement
It’s time for a public health approach to the disease of addiction.
It’s time to listen to the experts, to learn from the evidence, and to implement strategies to get things done — fast.
The devastation of America’s addiction epidemic is no secret. But what’s talked about a lot less is that this crisis is solvable. Decades of solid research point the way toward lasting solutions, saved lives, and sustained recovery for every American suffering from addiction.
