Some Interesting Facts
About Substance Abuse

 

15.7 million people (77.6%) with
Substance Abuse Issues are employed.

Of the approximately 23.4 million
Americans aged 12 or over who were classified with an alcohol or drug dependence disorder,
only 2.33 million received some level of treatment.

Of the percentage who needed but did not
receive treatment, only 5.8% felt they needed it while 35.8% of that percentage made an effort
to access treatment but were unable to do so.

Substance Abuse is a leading cause of chronic health problems,
family abuse and violence, and criminal behavior.

Approximately 90% of incarcerated individuals
have a drug or alcohol problem.
