Healthstyles: Changing the conversation about substance abuse

There are millions of families struggling with drug and alcohol abuse. They struggle to find practical tools to get help. Some never do because of the stigma involved. Some never do because of the lack of access to effective care. Too often, the one-size fits all model of treatment fails them, their families and their friends.
