   So you'd rather spend it on jails - and destroy lives?!   
      
   But do post your reference(s) - because I'm finding completely different   
   numbers:   
   ===================   
   Drug Addiction Recovery Statistics   
      
       The Butler Center for Research at Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation   
   reports that roughly 89 percent of patients who complete alcohol rehab   
   are still sober one month after discharge.   
       An estimated 76 percent of alcohol rehab patients who successfully   
   complete treatment report still being sober at three months, roughly 69   
   percent are still sober at six months, and a little more than 70 percent   
   are still sober at nine months.   
       Between 85 percent and 95 percent of all people who successfully   
   complete drug rehab report still being abstinent from all drugs nine   
   months after discharge.   
       Roughly 80 percent of patients report benefiting from improved   
   quality of life and health after completing drug and alcohol rehab.   
       Florida has the highest success rates of drug rehab compared to all   
   other states. A little more than 70 percent of people who receive   
   addiction treatment in Florida successfully complete their treatment   
   programs.   
       An estimated 43 percent of all people who go to drug rehab   
   successfully complete their treatment programs, while another 16 percent   
   are transferred to other rehab centers for additional treatment.   
       Rehab success rates for those who complete drug and alcohol   
   detoxification are a combined 68 percent.   
       An estimated 41 percent of people who receive medication-assisted   
   treatment (MAT) for opioid detox successfully complete treatment and   
   achieve abstinence.   
       Of those who successfully complete MAT for opioid dependence, around   
   13 percent receive outpatient treatment.   
       The highest percentage of drug rehabilitation success rates for   
   outpatient treatment involve admissions for alcohol and marijuana   
   addiction. More than 45 percent of adults age 18 and older who   
   successfully complete outpatient drug rehab are admitted for alcohol   
   abuse, while more than 36 percent of adults are admitted for marijuana   
   abuse.   
       A little more than 40 percent of people who successfully finish   
   outpatient drug rehab had initially decided on their own to seek   
   treatment and become sober.   
       Around 67 percent of people who successfully complete outpatient drug   
   rehab programs have their treatment costs covered by Medicaid, Medicare,   
   and other government sources.   
       People who successfully complete outpatient MAT for opioid dependence   
   stay at a drug rehab for an average of 113 days.   
       People who successfully complete outpatient treatment for any   
   substance use disorder stay at a drug rehab for an average of 81 days.   
       Those who successfully finish intensive outpatient programs for any   
   substance use disorder stay at a drug rehab for an average of 53 days.   
       Alcohol makes up the highest percentage of admissions to drug rehab   
   centers at 33 percent, followed by opioids at 34 percent, marijuana at 13   
   percent, stimulants at 11 percent, and cocaine at 5 percent.   
       Between 40 percent and 60 percent of patients who suffer from drug   
   use disorders end up relapsing when treatment is discontinued. However,   
   these relapse rates are significantly lower than those for other chronic   
   diseases such as hypertension and asthma.
