Kleber didn't see addiction as a 'moral failing' but as a medical problem.
Dr. Herbert Kleber, a man who pioneered substance abuse, was honored by Google on Monday in the form of a Doodle.
Kleber was assigned to a prison hospital in Lexington, Kentucky, in 1964. At the prison hospital, thousands of inmates were being treated for addiction and Kleber noticed that after the vast majority were released, they'd relapse. So, he decided it was time to develop a new approach. While President George H.W. Bush was in office, Kleber was appointed and served as deputy director for demand reduction at the Office of National Drug Control Policy. He implemented programs for prevention, education and treatment that led to a decreased demand for illegal drugs.
