Faith and religion play an enormous role in the lives of many individuals. This
reality gives leaders of faith communities a unique and wonderful opportunity to
reach and help many people in their congregations and neighborhoods. One of the
most crucial concerns affecting Americans today, unfortunately, is substance
abuse problems.
We hope the resources contained in this guide will help members and leaders of
faith communities across the country to reduce the problems of substance
abuse.
