Many Substance Abusers 'Not Ready' to Seek Treatment
PR Newswire press release at Yahoo - "A new report from the federal Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) shows that even when people recognize they are having problems with alcohol or drugs many do not seek treatment because they are "just not ready" to stop using. The report also found that many people do not believe they can afford to obtain treatment. The report estimates there were about 6 million persons with illicit drug dependence or abuse in 2002 that did not seek specialty treatment for their illicit drug use. There were an estimated 17 million persons in 2002 with alcohol dependence or abuse who did not receive specialty treatment." See also the full report, Reasons for Not Receiving Substance Abuse Treatment, was developed from SAMHSA's National Survey on Drug Use and Health.
