Drug abuse is becoming such a common problem that it can be overshadowed by turbulent events but drug abuse costs this nation billions of dollars and thousands of lives every year. Drug abuse costs the United States nearly 100 billion* dollars in one year alone.

If you or someone you know suffers with a drug abuse problem you understand how these costs add up. Missed days at work, increased doctors or emergency room visits, legal fees from arrests and an overall inability to focus on anything other than drug abuse for a length of time.

Much of the costs come from crime related to drug abuse. Theft, drug trafficking and selling, property damage, police services and incarceration are often caused by drug abuse. Perhaps you find yourself already in the system and realize you want to get help before your drug abuse gets any worse and you end up doing real time in prison. Hopefully you are reading this freely and haven't yet felt the consequences of a police record but understand that you can't control your drug abuse and need outside help.

Young and old, from the work-holic executive to the teenager whose experimentation has spiraled out of control we can help. Dr. Paul's at the Bay and it's professional staff will guide you through our successful process and into the life you deserve.

How much has your drug abuse cost you so far? The White House Office of National Drug Control Policy has calculated that Americans spent $57.3 billion on drugs between 1988 and 1995^. That isn't all the costs involved, that's just the cash given straight to the dealer and even to the pharmacist.

Oh yes, at Dr. Paul's at the Bay many of our clients seek help for drug abuse of prescriptions as well. Legal drugs are no less dangerous than street drugs if they are abused. In fact we can break down that $57.3 billion spent during those seven years as follows:

1. $38 billion spent on cocaine
2. $9.6 billion spent on heroin
3. $7 billion spent on marijuana
4. $2.7 billion on other street and misuse of prescription drugs.

Of course none of these figures take into account the emotional cost on the drug abuser and their families. This is an area our drug abuse counselors are particularly helpful.
