According to the National Survey on Drug Use and Health, it is estimated that almost 22.8 million Americans need treatment for substance abuse. Unfortunately, many of these people are unable to find both affordable and effective treatment, as a result of the admission rates required to house an individual in most rehab centers.
According to a survey conducted by the National Institutes of Health, 30 percent of all adults between the ages of 20 and 29 have no health insurance. Unfortunately, many of these people who are struggling with a drug or alcohol addiction are unable to afford effective treatment.
On March 23, 2010, President Obama signed legislation to reform health care, allowing guaranteed access to health insurance for millions of people. In Obama’s reform, young adults will be able to stay on a parent’s insurance plan until they turn 26. This means that young adults under the age of 26, who went off the insurance according to previous laws, will be able to return onto their parent’s health and dental insurance. The reforms went into effect on January 1, 2011.
With the Affordable Health Care Act now in place, more young Americans will now be insured, and those struggling with drug addiction in that age bracket will now be able to find solutions for effective drug treatment.
Narconon Arrowhead, one of the world’s largest and most successful drug rehab centers, is prepared to assist these young adults as they look for help with their drug or alcohol addictions. The long term, residential drug and alcohol rehabilitation program has been successfully rehabilitating addicts since the 1960’s.
