Founded in 2007, End Dependence provides individuals access to the most innovative, biologic therapies available for the treatment of addiction. Giving out 31 financial grants over the last year, End Dependence hopes to increase that number, with a special emphasis in Los Angeles County where methamphetamine abuse is a burgeoning epidemic, especially among women and Latinos, and where cocaine and alcohol dependency are chronic threats to individual and public well being.
