Nov 30, 2016 by AMERSA

Last week the U.S. Surgeon General Vivek H. Murthy addressed the addiction crisis. The method was to release a Surgeon General’s Report and to campaign for its awareness. The Report website can be found at: https://addiction.surgeongeneral.gov/

The Report calls for resolve in the battle against addiction, and of note, treatment of addiction as a disease.
