You have heard about the challenges in our communities regarding the substance abuse issues; challenges faced every day in every city and town across our Commonwealth and Nation. It truly affects everyone’s life. Despite our efforts, the epidemic continues to grow, and we’re in real danger of losing an entire generation to a disease that has no cure but does have a solution. The solution, like all life-threatening diseases, is making sure that each and every one of us commits time, energy and resources to curtailing and preventing the effects of substance use disorders.
