Abuse of substances is one of the most frequently occurring mental health problems in the United States. Over 23 million Americans
struggle with addiction, yet fewer than 10 percent are getting treatment. For adolescents, drugs far outrank crime, social
pressure, grades, or sex as a hazard to their development and well-being. The goal of this website is to bring together those

how it can be prevented, treatment options, and where to find help. Click on the links located in the navigation bar on the
