Our treatment facility offers a wide range of addiction treatment programs and therapies tailored to the needs of each individual.
The Reality of Recovery
According to data from the National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH), recovery from substance use and mental health problems is not merely possible but prevalent among adults in the United States. Of the estimated 70 million adults who acknowledged past substance use, a significant majority considered themselves to be in recovery.
Substance Use Recovery
Specifically, for substance use, approximately 72.2% (or 20.9 million) of 29.0 million adults who identified past substance use problems saw themselves as in recovery or having recovered from their drug or alcohol use problem.
Mental Health Recovery
Meanwhile, of the 58.7 million adults who acknowledged past mental health problems, 66.5% (or 38.8 million) considered themselves to be in recovery or having recovered from their mental health problems. Recovery is possible.
Facilitating Factors in Recovery
Recovery is a dynamic process characterized by continuous growth and improvement in health and wellness. Alongside the management of setbacks that are part of life. There are specific factors that enhance the likelihood of successful recovery from substance use and mental health problems.
Social Supports and Treatment
Social supports, including participation in government assistance programs, play a crucial role in facilitating substance use recovery, particularly among adults with lower family income or education levels. Similarly, any form of mental health treatment received in the past year. Whether inpatient, outpatient, prescription, or virtual care, significantly increased the likelihood of mental health recovery.
Insurance Coverage
Insurance coverage was another important factor, with mental health recovery being more prevalent among insured adults.
Spirituality
Spirituality also emerged as a supportive factor in recovery. This could imply that beliefs, principles, or practices that provide a sense of purpose or meaning could enhance resilience and recovery from substance use and mental health problems.
Resilience in Recovery
Interestingly, the report also identified the development of resilience among individuals in recovery. Despite the behavioral health challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, people in recovery reported few impacts on their mental health.
Challenges in Recovery
The NSDUH data also revealed some hurdles in the journey to recovery. For instance, adults who felt the need for mental health treatment but did not receive it in the past year were less likely to be in recovery.

In response to the nation’s mental health crisis and drug overdose epidemic, the Biden-Harris Administration has invested heavily in mental health care, overdose prevention, and life-saving prevention, treatment, and recovery services. Through the American Rescue Plan and the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act, the Administration has channeled over $4.4 billion into SAMHSA grant programs.
SAMHSA’s Role in Addiction Treatment
The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) is the agency within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) leading these public health efforts.
