Substance Use Disorders, commonly known as drug abuse or alcoholism, impact families, children, friends, and the entire community. Substance Misuse, the use of any substance in a manner that harms oneself or others can lead to a Substance Use Disorder diagnosis. Almost everyone knows someone whose life has been affected by Substance Misuse or a Substance Use Disorder. Studies show that 1 in 7 people will develop a substance use disorder at some point in their lives.
Substance abuse, including lost productivity and health- and crime- related costs have created a public health crisis in the United States costing more than $740 billion each year (National Institute on Drug Abuse, 2020a). This is an epidemic that affects all of society. Many of the social problems today are related to substance use disorders such as death and injury related to impaired driving, family and spousal violence, stress, and anxiety disorders, as well as child abuse and neglect.
Exposure to stress is one of the most powerful triggers of substance use disorders. The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has increased the need for Lifetime’s programs for vulnerable individuals, families, and those in jeopardy of relapse. It is more imperative than ever that every person who walks through our doors receive the support and guidance needed for life-changing recovery.
