Abstract:

In North Carolina more than 635,000 people are addicted to drugs or alcohol, and it is costing the state money. In order to attack the state's drug problem, the North Carolina General Assembly has created a Drug Cabinet to deal with issues in community prevention and treatment systems. Plans within the Cabinet are focused on who is given responsibility to coordinate the state's substance abuse service system; continuum of care; linking a variety of programs, departments, and agencies.
