Substance Abuse Figures
According to a government study, almost 20 million Americans use illicit substances every month. While much of this use is recreational, the line between social use and chemical dependency is very thin, and this line is often blurriest to people who think they are—by whatever faulty reasoning—invincible to drug addiction.
According to the above statistic, each day hundreds of thousands slip further into the hole caused by drug use and alcohol addiction, and gradually fall into the cycle of addiction. What’s scariest is that this number doesn’t even include those who have lost their control with alcohol abuse or substance abusers in different countries. When these populations are added together, it is conservatively estimated that one out of every ten people in the world is addicted to alcohol or drugs. You are not alone! Many millions before you have had to deal with their substance abuse.
