PROBLEM: High Relapse and Cost of Re-admissions
21.5 million American adults (aged 12 and older) battled a substance use disorder in 2014. The latest numbers show that more than 72,000 Americans died of a drug overdose in 2017, most of them involving opioids.
Almost 200 people die every day from drug overdoses and this rate has quintupled in the past 20 years and now represents over $500 billion in national economic costs. With relapse rates conservatively estimated between 40 and 60 percent the opioid epidemic is devastating.
