Dear Colleagues,
According to a recent report published by The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, substance abuse causes more deaths, illnesses, and disabilities in the U.S. than any other preventable health problem today. It is estimated that between 13 - 16 million people are in need of substance abuse treatment. Today's newsletter focuses on this healthcare crisis.
