Future focus: The prevention solution
Counselor Magazine
Everyone has heard the famous saying by Benjamin Franklin, “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure” (Medrut, 2018). This saying was meant to convey the idea that it takes less effort to prevent a problem than it does to fix a problem once it develops. This truth is very applicable to the addiction crisis we are facing today in the U.S.

Generational Effects: What Public Health Administrative Data Tells Us About Heroin Use Disorder
Counselor Magazine
Illicit use of heroin has been a major public health crisis in the United States for decades, and the more recent availability of other opioid-based substances has caused the number of heroin users to increase further. More than seventy thousand Americans died from drug overdoses in 2017, from both illicit drugs and prescription opioids—a two-fold increase in a decade (NIDA, 2020).

Last but Not Least: Finally, funding support for families!
ARCC
A piece of legislation calling for funds to be provided for family-based support resources for those impacted by substance use disorder (SUD) is being introduced in the U.S. Senate this week. The passing of this bill would be a monumental step on the federal level for addiction recovery services. According to a summary of the bill, The Family Support Services for Addiction Act (FSSAA) by Senator Gillibrand, would establish a grant program for nonprofit family community organizations to provide resources for many family support services. The FSSAA would authorize funding for a grant program at $25 million over 5 years through the Department of Health and Human Services.

The Addiction Recovery Community Unites for National Change!
ARCC
This week, 37 addiction recovery advocacy organizations sent out a letter urging Congress to establish a dedicated Center for Addiction Recovery at The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA). This dedicated focus on recovery is essential to strengthen the recovery systems in each state and territory so they can build recovery capital and equitably serve the diverse communities impacted by addiction and recovery. The California Consortium of Addiction Programs and Professionals (CCAPP) President and CEO Pete Nielsen states, “This is a great step forward for the recovery community to working together for a common purpose and be heard instead of being anonymous and silent. If the recovery community is silent, people suffer in silence and may die from the disease of addiction.”

For some teens, it's been a year of anxiety and trips to the ER
The New York Times
When the pandemic first hit the Bay Area last spring, Ann thought that her son, a 17-year-old senior, was finally on track to finish high school. He had kicked a heavy marijuana habit and was studying in virtual classes while school was closed.
The first wave of stay-at-home orders shut down his usual routines — sports, playing music with friends. But the stability didn’t last.
