What matters now

Three developments worth understanding before the next headline replaces them.

01

69,973

30%

NCPG also found elevated indicators of gambling-related harm among online, traditional-sports, and fantasy-sports bettors. The survey measures behaviors, not diagnoses.

The national picture

You are describing something that happens to millions of people

People arrive at this convinced they are the only one it has happened to, and that the scale of it is a private failure. It is neither. Pick a domain to see what the published research actually shows.

12 of every 100people with a substance use disorder received substance use treatment last year

Received treatment Did not

48.4m

people aged 12 and over in the United States had a substance use disorder in the past year.

SAMHSA, 2024 National Survey on Drug Use and Health
21.2m

U.S. adults had a substance use disorder and any mental illness in the same year. That overlap is why coordinated care matters.

SAMHSA, 2024 NSDUH, Table A.43A

Of everyone with a substance use disorder

Received substance use treatment12.3%
Did not receive substance use treatment87.7%
Had both alcohol and drug use disorders16.0%

These describe populations, not individuals. They are here to show scale, not to diagnose anyone — and no figure on this page is an outcome or success-rate claim about Eleve. Sources are re-verified before publication.
