Many federal agencies are now very actively sponsoring research and studies on substance abuse treatment and prevention. Some have also produced video programs for schools to help parents and teachers keep our children drug free or to assist them in working with children affected by alcohol and drugs; to train counselors to help those who have succumbed to addiction; or to help corporations educate employees about the dangers of using drugs and alcohol in the workplace.
