HEALING THE ADDICTED BRAIN: Dr. Harold C. Urschel III
MOMSTELL'S
mission is to promote awareness and eliminate the stigma of substance abuse
through improving treatment, education, legislation, policy and prevention. Our goal is to join concerned parents and family members to work
together for positive change regarding substance abuse issues.
Addiction is a disease that must be addressed with quality treatment that is
readily available for anyone who needs it. Families must receive support
services in order to effectively help their addicted loved one. As parents
and family members unite into "one voice," positive change in substance
abuse treatment, education, legislation, policies and prevention will take
place. "As we unite our voices together to speak up and speak out, we will
continue to make
positive changes within the substance abuse treatment system" --Sharon L. Smith -
Founder
