WE CAN DO THIS
Addiction isn’t invincible. We know what needs to be done, and we know we need to do it together.
The solution lies in prevention, treatment and government action. We are rallying families, employers, medical leaders, and passionate individuals like you to make this possible.
Center on Addiction has spent more than 25 years conducting research and finding the most effective strategies to combat addiction. Now we’re putting them into practice.
Together we can transform how our nation addresses addiction.
