Crisis

 

The reality is that individuals with mental health and substance use needs are facing challenges accessing adequate, timely and affordable care in every state in the country—and this can lead to dire consequences such as worsening symptoms, the need for acute care services, subsequent engagement in the criminal justice system and, in some cases, suicide or overdose.

We are 100% committed to addressing this
rapidly evolving
public health crisis with
SAME DAY engagement into treatment services.

END THE STIGMA

In February of 2021, Katherine Keyes, an associate professor at the Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health whose research focuses on psychiatric, and substance use epidemiology, told CNN that early in the pandemic, Keyes was part of a research team that modeled the potential impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on drug overdoses.

 

They found that even if the pandemic did end overnight,

the effects on drug overdoses
would persist for

 

at least a year.

Critical Community Issues

Stigma pervades medicine policy communities

​

Stigma contributes to the tragic reality that fewer than 13% of people with an illicit drug use disorder received any treatment for their addiction in 2019.

​

The reality is that individuals with mental health and substance use needs are facing challenges accessing adequate, timely and affordable care in every state in the country. 

​

This has led to dire consequences such as worsening symptoms, the need for acute care services,

subsequent engagement in the criminal justice system and, in some cases, suicide or overdose.

Government policies, including criminal justice measures, often reflect — and contribute to stigma.

Opiod Epidemic Fact

In the early months of the pandemic, the nation saw an 18% increase in overdoses compared with the same months in 2019.

​

Recent studies show over 85% of people who have substance use disorder

relapse within the first year after treatment.

 

23.5 million people are believed to need treatment, 2.6 million get the help.

 

Illinois CDC's Drug Overdose Surveillance and Epidemiology (DOSE) System shows 15.29% significant increase in percent of ER visits for suspected all drug overdoses from February 2022 compared to January 2022.

 

Opioids were involved in 49,860 overdose deaths in 2019

(70.6% of all drug overdose deaths).

 

The U.S. primary care system is struggling under increasing demands and expectations,

diminishing economic margins and increasing workforce attrition.

 

Approximately one-third of physicians practice in primary care but fewer than one-fourth of current medical school graduates are going into psychiatry.
