Across the United States, substance abuse causes more than 15,000 deaths each year, and is believed to be indirectly involved in more than 50,000 deaths.

COA helps families find the resources to bridge the gap into treatment services, and provides after-care to support recovery. The organization has grown quickly over the past year and has been instrumental in helping more than one hundred-fifty young adults and their families.
