The U.S. has been facing a substance abuse crisis for years now with overdose deaths hitting a new high in 2022. Two-thirds of Americans say either they or a family member have been addicted to alcohol or drugs due and nearly one in 10 adults has had a family member die of a drug overdose.
The Kaiser Family Foundation (KFF) has been actively working on this issue through its tracking polls. The July 2023 KFF Tracking Poll provides valuable insights into the perceptions, experiences, and challenges related to substance use and accessing treatment.
