What if a Person Only Has a Low Income? How Can He Find a Good Addiction Treatment Program?

Question by : Is wellness housing at college for people that are “straight edge” or for people that have had addictions?

I want a supportive community, you know?

The two surveys that cover this are Monitoring the Future and the Household Survey on Drug Abuse. An internet search will turn up various links to them. You will probably not find extensive stats that predate the Internet age.
Before you look for them, you should understand that there are a number of problems with the surveys.
