Résumé :
ENGLISH :
Substance use is a major public health problem: it affects the health of a vast number of Americans and results in tremendous costs to US society overall. The public health community must provide strong and decisive leadership in informing policy, advocating for needed research funds, and bringing practice in line with scientific advances in substance abuse prevention and treatment. The current treatment gap unduly affects children, who through the failure of US society to address their parents' addictions, are at profound risk of becoming the next generation in need of treatment.
