DRUGS AND ALCOHOL
ABUSE; A NATIONAL CRISIS
- Young people are
experimenting with drugs, alcohol and tobacco at
early ages.
- Substance abuse causes
more deaths, illnesses and disabilities than any
other preventable health problem
today.
- One in every four
deaths is attributable to alcohol, tobacco and
drug abuse.
- There is a gap between
what we know and what we are actually doing to
address a problem that is largely preventable
and treatable.
HEALTH
IS A COMMON THREAD THAT
BINDS US TOGETHER
A community's health-care
system and how it responds to a health crisis is a
fundamental part of its identity and is the common
thread that binds us together. There's a much
better awareness that we're all in this together.
