This report produced by CASA Columbia provides a thorough analysis of addiction and its treatment in United States, focusing on nicotine, alcohol and drugs (prescribed and illicit drugs) addiction.
It notes that there is a significant gap between those who need treatment and those who actually receive it and between the service they receive and what constitutes quality care. The report calls for closing the gap between practice and science- by adopting new approaches to addiction which are consistent with science and evidence-based care treatment, and it provides recommendations to overcome the existing barriers.
