The most recent I could find for the US has the figures for 1997:
“A study shows that the U.S. spent a combined $ 11.9 billion on alcohol and drug abuse treatment, while the total social costs were more than $ 294 billion. The results were part of the National Estimates of Expenditures for Substance Abuse Treatment, 1997, which was released at the end of April by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration’s Center for Substance Abuse Treatment.

Parents Are Worried About Me Moving Out and Living on My Own.?
Question by Kyle: Parents are worried about me moving out and living on my own.?
I’m getting ready to go to a 9-month program for music in NYC in January, I’m 21 years old and currently live with my parents about 45-50min away in Connecticut. I’ve struggled with drug addiction since I was 18 and as a result I dropped out of my first College and then failed out of another 1.5years later. I’ve been in treatment for over a year and I’m doing very good. I’m planning on doing a music production program in the city and am very excited to finally study/learn something I have a real passion for. I’m also planning on renting an apartment in the city so I don’t have to commute 6 times a week and also because I feel like it’s the next step in the evolution of my life to move out of my parents house and live on my own.
Group Therapy/support Groups in Hagerstown, MD?
Question by Rebecca P: Group therapy/support groups in Hagerstown, MD?
I live in Hagerstown, Maryland, and am looking for any support group or group therapy available in Hagerstown or nearby… not Frederick because I don’t drive, though. I am looking for a group in any or all of the following areas:
-Depression
-Anorexia/Bulimia
-Self-harm
-Trauma/PTSD/Abuse Survivor
-General mental illness
I’m not interested in AA, NA, OA, or NAMI because I’ve been to NAMI and OA and didn’t like them particularly. I don’t abuse alcohol or drugs so they aren’t suitable… any ideas? Places? Resources? I looked in the yellow pages and with various mental health agencies and am not having much luck. It’s so frustrating since Hagerstown is quite small… help, please?
