El mes del tratamiento de los trastornos de consumo de sustancias es un momento para reconocer el impacto de los trastornos de consumo de sustancias y la importancia de una atención accesible y compasiva. La encuesta nacional sobre consumo de drogas y salud de 2023 muestra que 48.5 millones de personas mayores de 12 años en Estados Unidos padecían un trastorno de consumo de sustancias.
