Get Involved With Drug Addiction Counseling
Substance abuse disorders are incredibly pervasive, affecting people of every age, gender, race and socioeconomic background. In 2016, 48.5 percent of Americans ages 12 and up reported using illicit drugs, according to the National Survey of Drug Use and Health.
In that same year, 80 percent of people 12 and older reported using alcohol. Once a person becomes dependent on alcohol or drugs, they require intensive treatment to recover.
