Interesting Facts and Statistics:

Once a drug or alcohol addiction has developed, many individuals find themselves unable to cease using the drug of choice without enrollment into a residential addiction recovery program to receive the treatment that they both need and deserve.

Among the 17.8 million people who needed but did not receive treatment for an alcohol use problem in 2005, there were 641,000 (3.6 percent) who felt they needed treatment for their alcohol use problem. Of these, 154,000 (24.0 percent) made an effort but were unable to get treatment, and 487,000 (76.0 percent) did not make an effort to get treatment.
