Did you know?
Scientists estimate that
genetic factors account for
between 40 and 60 percent
of a person’s vulnerability to
addiction.1
More than 23 million people—
almost 1 in 10—over the age
of 12 are addicted to alcohol
and other drugs.2
Approximately 8.9 million
adults have co-occurring
disorders; that is, they have
both a mental health and
substance use disorder.3
Integrated treatment that
addresses mental health and
substance use conditions at
the same time is associated
with lower costs and better
outcomes.4
