What Percentage of Americans Are Drug Addicts? What Percentage Use Drugs Regularly or Casually?

Question by Newcomer: What percentage of Americans are drug addicts? What percentage use drugs regularly or casually?

I feel drug use only adds to the underlying problems that drive one to drug use in the first place. (I’m relating to so-called hard drugs, alcohol, and prescription drug abuse – have I left anything out?)

Answer by Nightrider

Answer by destinie_cx
I don’t think substance abuse treatment centers will allow you to talk to the patients as they are really strict regarding the implementation of their privacy rules. I think you can interview the counselors and therapists, though. You can still get a lot of information that way. 🙂
