Stories from Iowa
Now’s your chance to let Congress know you’re passionate about CARA!
Both the Senate and House have passed versions of the Comprehensive Addiction and Recovery Act. Conferees from both bodies are currently meeting in what’s known as “conference” to finalize one bill that will go to the President’s desk for signature and passage into law.
It’s critically important that the conferees hear from you as soon as possible! These policy leaders must understand how important a comprehensive addiction response is in their home state.

“Our son Andrew died in February 2015 from an accidental overdose of heroin and meth. He was 33 at the time, engaged, and his fiancé was expecting their child. He was a college graduate and from a middle class family. Perhaps he would be alive today if there had been a better prevention and rehabilitation program. Drugs have killed so many and it’s time to put the shame aside and help our sons and daughters, grandchildren and siblings who have addiction problems.” -Carol Bond | Ames, IA
