You have to address it in a holistic way to be successful, and I am concerned that many people are trying to treat their way out of this problem...this is a disease that deserves to be treated as a disease.
General Arthur Dean, the Chairman and CEO of Community Anti-Drug Coalitions of America (CADCA), brings a wealth of experience to the table in this episode of Steppin' Out Radio. With 31 years of service in the U.S. Army, including combat roles in Vietnam and Saudi Arabia, General Dean offers a unique perspective on substance abuse prevention.
He passionately argues that substance abuse should be treated as a disease, not a moral failing, and highlights the crucial role of community engagement and primary prevention strategies. General Dean also underscores the importance of youth involvement in community coalitions and addresses contemporary issues like electronic cigarettes and underage drinking. Through CADCA's comprehensive initiatives, he demonstrates that preventing substance abuse is not only possible but essential.
This episode is a call to action for everyone to get involved in their communities and make a difference.
