A Nov. 23 article by Susie Bodman and Stefanie Knowlton of Oregon's Statesman-Journal newspaper reported that adolescent and teen substance abuse remains a prevalent problem throughout the state:
"More than 6,000 kids ages 12 to 17 were treated for drug and alcohol abuse in Oregon last year," Bodman and Knowlton wrote. "State officials estimate that the number of kids who needed treatment, in-patient or out-patient, in the state last year was closer to 27,000, which means only about 22 percent of those who need it are getting treatment through the state."
