In this country, we are in dire need of “more, broader, earlier, kinder, faster, better, longer” ways for folks with alcohol and other substance abuse disorders.

Over nine in ten people with a substance use disease never get help. Only one in ten people who are diagnosed receive any type of specialized medical treatment. And over half of all people diagnosed with a substance disorder relapse within the first year after initial treatment.

The key changes needed are to incorporate addiction screening, brief intervention and treatment to mainstream medical practices, providing longer chronic care support and monitoring, and establishing appropriate performance measurement and analytics.
