Fast Facts About Addiction

Addiction is a primary, chronic disease of brain reward, motivation, memory, and related circuitry. It is also one of the largest preventable health problems facing the U.S. today, responsible for more than 20% of deaths in the United States.

23.5 million Americans could be diagnosed with addiction. That is 1 in 10 Americans over the age of 12 (roughly the population of Texas). Of those individuals, only 11% are receiving any type of treatment service.
