Creating acceptance that substance abuse is a community problem requiring comprehensive response is crucial to this nation's “War on Drugs.” Only the community can bring about the fundamental changes, attitudes, and behaviors that will significantly reduce our demand for drugs. Only the community can develop and sustain accessible programs that, over time, will successfully prevent and control drug abuse to create a social environment in which all of its members can live.
