NEW YORK, NY, August 8, 2006 -- More than 22 million Americans age 12 and older are addicted to drugs and alcohol, but nine out of 10 fail to get the treatment they need.

Silent Treatment: Addiction in America offers a wide range of resources and links, the latest research on addiction and treatment and personal stories of daily struggles and victories on the road to recovery — including a comprehensive five-part newspaper series appearing in newspapers nationwide, distributed through McClatchy-Tribune News Service.

Groups will find tools and links to connect with others dedicated to improving addiction treatment, as well as information on organizing around Silent Treatment.
