The Facts & Percentages
It has been found that treatment reduces drug use by 40% to 60%, which is comparable to success rates of treatments for other chronic diseases, such as asthma and hypertension.*
In an independent evaluation of the IDHS/DASA treatment system, the following was found:
• Individuals reporting use of alcohol decreased from 59% at admission to 30% six months posttreatment; marijuana from 30% to 6%; cocaine from 37% to 6%; and heroin from 24% to 6%.**
• The percentage of individuals receiving wages for work increased significantly: 44% received wages at admission versus 57% who received wages six months after treatment.**
• The number of individuals reporting income received from illegal activities decreased from 16%at treatment admission to only 2% six months after treatment, an 88% decrease.**
• Alcohol and other drug treatment are costeffective. Each $1 invested in treatment equals $4 to $ 7 in savings on crime and criminal justice costs alone.***
