Abstract

A new Congress and a new President-elect mean changes are in store for 2017. But one topic that remains bipartisan is addiction. The Surgeon General’s first-ever report on substance misuse and related disorders, Facing Addiction in America: The Surgeon General’s Report on Alcohol, Drugs, and Health, reminds us of the inequities in treatment of addictions and opens new opportunities for change.
