I know enough about substance abuse and addiction, Chris.  I recently lost a family member that fought addiction for many years.  Once a person crosses that line into addiction, it's very difficult to achieve recovery.  Some are lucky and can kick the habit with talk therapy.  Others continue to engage in a revolving door.  And your right, every bit of funding can help, but it does take clinical research to determine evidence based treatment.  The only cure for substance abuse is abstinence.  The longer one engages in addiction the longer it'll take to recover.
