Abstract: The number of persons afflicted with addiction is growing with an estimated 40 Million diagnosed patients and another 80 million risky substance users one third of America. It is costing America an estimated $486 Billion annually. Most of the money is going to the judicial system and not treatment or research on better treatments. An estimated 600,000+ die from addiction annually (more than the Vietnam war). It causes 71 other diseases of all kinds. And less than 10% of people with addiction fail to ever get help for it.
