A study prepared by The Lewin Group for the National Institute on Drug Abuse and the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism estimated the total economic cost of alcohol and drug abuse in the United States at $245.7 billion. This cost estimate represented a 50% increase over the cost estimate from 1985 data. While the Lewins Group attentive to the financial cost of addiction, how can we assess the terrible immeasurable cost of a generation’s lost potential as adolescents in growing numbers are trapped by the scourge of substance abuse?
