Why SUFA Matters
Nearly 1 in 6 Americans are living with a substance use disorder, but they’re only part of the story.
About 2 in 6 Americans choose to abstain from substances altogether.
That leaves almost half of U.S. adults – more than 155 million people – who use substances but do not meet the criteria for a formal diagnosis.
THIS IS THE GAP SUFA FILLS
Traditional addiction services focus on treatment after problems develop. SUFA equips people to act earlier, recognizing when substance use may be becoming unhealthy and responding with care instead of judgment.
Early action can significantly improve outcomes and prevent progression to substance use disorder.
