But perhaps even more staggering is that, according to different studies,
only 10 percent
of people with substance use disorders receive any
type of treatment for their dependency on
alcohol, prescription medications and / or illicit drugs — even if they're patients at a hospital.
For example, a tobacco - focused review which included any intervention
type, classified interventions with a component
of resilience content into different subgroups such as social competence or social influence interventions, finding evidence for both broad intervention approaches.6 For the
alcohol - focused review,
only universal interventions were included with such interventions grouped according to whether they targeted
alcohol alone or targeted multiple substance
types.5 While meta - analysis was not conducted due to the heterogeneity
of studies, the review concluded that some psychosocial and developmental prevention programmes were effective.
