About Drug-Addiction-News
Our Journey and Mission
Drug-Addiction-News was born in 2017 with a vision to shed light on an often-overlooked aspect of global health: drug addiction. Founded by a team of dedicated journalists and healthcare advocates, our journey began as a response to the growing need for reliable, unbiased, and accessible information regarding substance use disorders.
In the ever-evolving digital landscape, we identified a critical gap in online resources that provided accurate insights into drug addiction, its prevention, treatment, and recovery. This inspired us to create a news platform dedicated entirely to this complex issue.
