Substance Abuse - Hot IssuesWhile issues and problems related to substance abuse are often intertwined, it can be useful to examine some of them individually. We'll update this list from time to time, to bring the latest "hot issues" to your attention.
Crime

Treatment Availability
No other disease goes untreated to anywhere near the extent that substance abuse does.
Binge Drinking
Excessive drinking remains a major problem on college campuses nationwide.
Drinking & Driving
States with tough drunk driving laws have a lower death rate due to alcohol-related car crashes.
Tobacco & Youth

Inhalant Abuse
Hundreds of children each year die from inhalant use. Nonetheless, many parents and educators remain ignorant of this "silent epidemic."
