Too many Americans are losing their lives to the disease of addiction and many more are struggling to access evidence-based prevention, treatment, and support services, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. While there is much work to be done, we know that by embracing and investing in science-backed approaches, we can treat addiction and save lives.
