Substance Use/ Mental Health Program
The lack of accessible and affordable mental health services in the community is a significant problem.
According to the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI), approximately 60% of adults with mental illness did not receive mental health services in the previous year. This alarming statistic highlights the dire state of mental health care in the community, leaving a majority of those in need without the necessary support and treatment. The consequences of this problem are severe, as untreated mental health issues can lead to a decline in overall health, productivity, and quality of life.
Another major issue is the difficulty in finding reliable and supportive substance use recovery programs. The National Institute on Drug Abuse reports that relapse rates for addiction treatment are between 40% and 60%. This indicates a significant gap in the effectiveness and reliability of existing recovery programs. The high relapse rates suggest that many individuals struggling with substance use disorders are not receiving the comprehensive and sustained support they need to overcome their addiction. This lack of reliable support can lead to a vicious cycle of addiction, relapse, and recovery, causing significant distress and harm to the individuals and their families.
Lastly, there is a lack of empowerment and support services for marginalized or vulnerable groups. The National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH) states that 19.7 million American adults (aged 12 and older) battled a substance use disorder in 2017. This statistic underscores the urgent need for targeted support and empowerment services for these individuals. Without these services, these vulnerable groups are left to face their struggles alone, exacerbating their conditions and further marginalizing them from society.
