Excerpt
In the United States in 2018, approximately 7.8% of adults and 3.8% of adolescents (Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration 2018) met criteria for a current substance use disorder (SUD). SUDs significantly affect the physical and psychological health of the individuals struggling with these problems and of their loved ones. Although evidence-based strategies exist for individuals seeking to change their substance misuse (National Institute on Drug Abuse 2012), only 10%–15% of individuals with a current SUD will come into contact with a treatment professional (Hasin and Grant 2015). Reasons given for not seeking treatment include limited health care coverage, cost concerns, fear that doing so may impact employment, and stigma (Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration 2018).
