At least 1 in 10 children in the United States is born into a chemically dependent family. Parental addiction has long-lasting detrimental effects on the health and safety of children. We must mobilize to free children from the double jeopardy of substance abuse and child abuse, and interrupt the multigenerational pattern of both problems. The short-term costs may be high, but the long-term costs will be much higher if we do not act. Simultaneous efforts are needed to prevent and treat both addiction and its too frequent consequence, child maltreatment.
在美国，至少十分之一的儿童出生在有药物依赖问题的家庭。父母成瘾对儿童的健康和安全有长期的不利影响。我们必须行动起来，将儿童从药物滥用和虐待儿童的双重危险中解救出来，并打破这两个问题的多代循环模式。短期成本可能很高，但如果我们不采取行动，长期成本会更高。我们需要同时努力预防和治疗成瘾问题及其常见后果——虐待儿童问题。
