On Tuesday, President Barack Obama committed to take on the United States' growing heroin and prescription epidemic by devoting resources to prevention and treatment, rather than to "war on drugs" policies.
Obama said at a conference in Atlanta, "For too long we've viewed drug addiction through the lens of criminal justice.
奥巴马在亚特兰大的一次会议上说，“很长时间，我们通过刑事司法的镜头看待药物成瘾。
The most important thing to do is reduce demand. And the only way to do that is to provide treatment–to see it as a public health problem and not a criminal problem."
最重要的事是减少需求。唯一的办法就是提供治疗，把它当作一个公共健康问题，而不是一个犯罪问题。”
In his speech, Obama also talked about a nearly completed Human Services Department rule that would treat substance abuse and mental health services such as medical and surgical benefits under Medicaid and Children's Health Insurance Program programs.
