What percent of the us is addicted to drugs?

The study, funded by the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA), which is part of the National Institutes of Health, found that about 4 percent of Americans met the criteria for drug use disorder last year and about 10 percent have had a drug use disorder at some point in your life. According to Defining the Addiction Treatment Gap, a CATG review of the annual National Survey on Drug Use and Health published by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) and other national data sources, addiction continues to affect all segments of American society.
