Drug Rehab By State

Drug and alcohol addiction costs our nation enormous amounts of money and lives making the need for drug rehab the most important issue alive today.

The drug abuse threat and subsequent need for drug rehab programs in our nation is due to the widespread availability and abuse of illicit drugs. Cocaine, methamphetamine, marijuana, heroin, and MDMA as well as many prescription drugs inflict tremendous amounts of damage to our society, particularly the millions of families that have a loved one struggling through addiction of any kind.  According to Department of Health and Human Services data, nearly 35 million persons aged 12 or older used an illicit drug within the past year, and approximately 3.8 million were dependent on or abusers of illicit drugs in 2003, the latest year for which such data are available. Health and Human Services data also show that the number of drug rehab admissions to publicly funded drug addiction treatment facilities in 2002 reached their highest recorded level at nearly 1.1 million.

The public resources consumed in addressing illicit drug trafficking and drug abuse are substantial. In 2003 nearly $11.4 billion was allocated by the federal government for drug education, incarceration, intelligence, interdiction, and addiction treatment. Although budgets vary greatly at the state and local levels, many state governments and local municipalities commit significant portions of their annual budgets to counterdrug programs. For example, the budgets of California and New York combined commit nearly $1.1 billion annually to alcohol and substance abuse treatment and prevention programs.
