CARA 2016: A Call to Action

If you were wondering who CARA is, I have an answer for you. First, it is not a who but a what. CARA stands for the Comprehensive Addiction and Recovery Act. It is the largest federal, bipartisan legislation to date for addiction support services, with $40-80 million toward advancing recovery  support and treatment services in local communities and states across the country with the goal of saving countless lives and addressing the opioid/heroin crisis we currently find ourselves in.
