Market Overview

The substance abuse treatment market was valued at USD 9365.7 million in 2019 and is anticipated to grow with a CAGR of 8.2%.

Substance abuse disorder is among the most severe and expensive public health issues across the world. The estimated costs to the American economy was about USD 223.5 million in 2006 for excessive alcohol drinking and USD 193 million in 2007 for illicit drug abuse and related problems, as per the U.S. Department of Justice & National Drug Intelligence Center. 

The intensity of the problem is exemplified by the sharp rise in the U.S. abuse of opioid analgesics during the past decade, with the associated significant increase in overdose-related deaths. The opioid abuse epidemic is especially prominent in that it corresponds to the abuse of a medication prescribed by the healthcare professionals, highlighting the need for testing and appropriate interventions in primary healthcare settings for patients with substance abuse.

Growing number of patients suffering from drug-or-nicotine-related addiction, rising policy interventions, and surging funding from NGOs provide an impetus to the market growth. In regard to this, the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), a U.S. Department of Health and Human Services agency, has several awareness-raising campaigns in operation. These programs are aimed at eradicating illegal drug use in federal workplaces and providing help to render all workplaces drug free. However, the individuals' unwillingness to pursue treatment modalities and discontinuation of therapeutic interventions hampers the market growth.

As per the National Survey on Drug Use and Health conducted by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), around 23.5 million Americans are addicted to drugs and alcohol. In 2015, about 15.1 million adults in the U.S. suffered from alcohol abuse disorder, of which, only 6.7% of people with alcohol abuse disorder were treated. Alcohol is the fourth leading preventable cause of death in the U.S., with the death toll standing at 900,000 people annually. Also, more than 2 million people die from abuse of prescription pain relievers in the country. Heroin is most commonly regarded as an illicit opiate, with the estimated number of users as high as 900,000. As per the World Health Organization (WHO), about 1,100 million smokers were registered in 2015 across the globe, which includes around one-third of the global population aged 15 years.

Regional Analysis

Government Welfare Programs to Curb Prescription Drugs Drives North America’s Market Growth

North America’s substance abuse treatment market is primarily driven by the high incidences of drug abuse in the region.
