Congressman Turner released the following statement after President Obama stated his concern with the rise in substance abuse across the country during his final State of the Union.
"In November, I introduced the bipartisan TREAT Act, which cuts red tape for substance abuse treatment. I have seen the effects substance abuse can have on cities and towns across America which is why I hope President Obama will support common sense steps like the TREAT Act. I appreciate the President taking up this important issue and I look forward to helping those Americans that need it most."
