Does treatment really work?
Yes. And as with other chronic conditions such as diabetes and hypertension, treatment can take a variety of approaches and variable lengths of time. Certainly, treatment - whether inpatient or outpatient - has a cost. But early detection and effective treatment can save lives, restore families, save taxpayers millions of dollars, and deliver American businesses huge and measurable dividends.

What is the Fight for Fairness Campaign?
