POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

Whenever I hear people talk about the “cost” of addiction on society, I think about a UK survey of people five years sober. Unlike those who recover from other chronic illnesses, those who recovered from addiction were described by researchers as “better than well,” because the majority were working full-time and 78% were also volunteering in their communities. Researchers also found that every pound spent on drug treatment pays for itself three times over. And, stateside, investment in addiction care yields similar dividends, with studies suggesting a four- to sevenfold return for every dollar put in.

If that’s what happens to those who actually get help, it makes you wonder why the system still files us under “burdens” rather than “returns on investment.” When you see addiction as a choice, it becomes politically smarter to leave services short of money, all while posing with a pint in hand on your campaign trail. And somewhere between those budget lines and those waiting lists, desperate people become business opportunities.
