It's up to US to help Oklahomans understand

Addiction has biological, brain-chemistry elements and it can run in families. Addiction is preventable and treatable, but many people do not understand this.

We must join together to focus attention in support of addiction treatment, prevention, and research. The public needs to understand addiction is a treatable illness and millions of people achieve recovery.

Oklahoma Substance Abuse Services Alliance, also known as OSASA, was founded in 1998. OSASA is an alliance comprised of substance abuse treatment agencies, prevention agencies, and private citizens. OSASA strives to create a statewide network of agencies and individuals advocating for increasing public awareness, effective public policy, and public funding for substance abuse treatment and prevention.

Substance Abuse is Oklahoma's #1 health problem, affecting virtually every area of our society, and consuming nearly one of every eight dollars through direct costs and lost productivity. Substance Abuse hurts every man, woman and child in Oklahoma. The Oklahoma Academy for State Goals recently estimated the cost of substance abuse to the state at $6.8 billion annually. These costs, high as they are, are likely to be underestimated by 10-15%.
