Help us educate our legislators about
1) Reimbursement for addiction treatment
2) Substance use and evidence-based treatment options
3) Public health issues, HIV, hepatitis C, opiate treatment
4) Pending initiatives for expanding youth treatment

CSAM members: Share the message that the time is now to improve services and access to treatment. Leading the list of top issues continues to be substance abuse treatment insurance parity, because access to treatment happens through sound reimbursement of health care services.
