One of two clients in therapy today is currently addicted. This means up to one-half of mental health clients.
Research from Columbia University reveals
80% of people in U.S. prisons are incarcerated because of drugs being involved.
According to The Center for Disease Control
There were three times as many prescription drug overdose deaths last year than the two decades prior. This represents a national epidemic.
The National Institute for Drug Abuse reports
One in every ten adults is currently addicted to Alcohol or Drugs. This includes anyone over the age of 12.
Also according to the National Institute for Drug Abuse only 10% of the above statistic will ever receive treatment. An astounding 90% those addicted will never receive treatment.
