Long term discontinued funding for substance abuse prevention has significantly harmed NH's ability to maintain an appropriate workforce base. The crisis demonstrates the failure in our long term approach. A strategic and long term commitment must be made if we are to effectively rebuild in-state resources and gain real ground on this epidemic."
