Drug and alcohol abuse cost you and every member of your family money. It is estimated by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services that substance abuse-related problems cost every man, woman, and child in America $800 a year or nearly $200 billion. These costs are reflected in higher health care costs, higher insurance, more tax dollars for law enforcement and incarceration, lost worker productivity, and so on.
