Abstract
What's in a name? If it's the word “abuse,” this could “unintentionally harm the very individuals we strive to help,” according to the explanation by the (former) National Association of State Alcohol and Drug Abuse Directors (NASADAD), called, as of Oct. 3, the National Association of State Alcohol and Drug Agency Directors. The acronym is still the same.
