Abstract

(Illustration cage pic and ref). Out of seven billion inhabitants on this planet, the World Health Organization estimates that the number of alcoholics is 10% of the global population with the highest prevalence rates to be found in Eastern Europe. Out of these 700 million human beings an infinitesimal percentage receive treatment because cultures and shame are obstacles to their recovery. In the United States, less than 8% of alcoholics receive treatment (illustration or ref.)  which is largely superior to the number of alcoholics who are being helped worldwide. We are talking only about alcoholism because there is no available evaluation of the number of addicts for other mood-altering substances. In this presentation we are using the word addicts to include all people suffering from any kind of addictions, whether it is alcohol or other mood-altering substances.
