Substance Abuse Funding Targets Treatment, Not Prevention

More info…
Only a tiny percentage of government funding for drug and substance abuse about 2 percent is used for prevention, while 96 percent is spent on substance abuse treatment, and secondary consequences such as crime and homelessness. Of the 96 percent of the nearly $468 billion a year that federal, state and local governments spend, most of it spent on health care costs associated with substance abuse (about 58%), followed by the costs of prosecuting and putting offenders in prison (about 13%)
