Treatment is a Good Investment
A recent California study found that $1 invested in substance abuse treatment saves taxpayers $7 in future costs.
A UCLA study estimated that $1 invested in treatment could save $11.54 in combined medical and social costs.
In Minnesota, each $1 spent on treatment earned an $.80 offset within the first year through reductions in costs associated with clients' medical, hospital, psychiatric, justice and other costs.
