Economics of Addiction
-
Money Spent
The actual cost of buying drugs, alcohol or even cigarettes adds up fast. -
Loss of Productivity
The economics of addiction don’t stop with the purchase price alone; substance abuse is associated with increased absenteeism from work, fewer promotions and increased risk of unemployment. -
Lifestyle
The time spent searching for drugs, using drugs, recuperating from the use of drugs and then repeating the cycle could be better spent learning new skills to increase job opportunities, exercising to take better care of one's health or simply spending quality time with friends and family. -
Illness
Drug and alcohol abuse eventually result in higher medical bills, increased risk of injury or illness (directly or indirectly related to addiction), and long-term loss of earning capacity due to illness, disability, and medical costs. -
Insurance
Plan to pay more for almost every type of insurance ranging from car insurance to health insurance due to substance abuse. The average person dealing with an addiction is charged with 1.4 DUIs that result in increased car insurance rates of up to 300 percent, if not outright cancellation. Co-morbidity, illness, and injury caused by intoxication further increase the cost of all types of insurance, leaving the entire family more susceptible to all kinds of accidents, injuries, or other financial down-turns. -
Legal Bills
In addition to increased insurance rates, DUIs, arrest warrants, and other legal problems are common among those that abuse drugs or alcohol. -
Loss of Earned Income
Substance abuse is strongly correlated with dropping out of school, whether high school or college, creating a lifelong loss of earned income. Worse, Social Security and retirement benefits are correlated to earned income, so the loss of annual earnings will even impact retirement. -
General Money Problems
Late bills, higher interest rates, and bad credit scores are common problems. It only makes sense; money that should go toward paying down debt goes toward buying drugs. Instead, accidents and higher insurance rates result in increased charges for buying everything from a new car to qualifying for a mortgage. Not only does it hurt the person suffering from the addiction, but it also impacts the lives of spouses, parents, and children for years to come.
Add It Up
Take time to tally the results to understand the real threat to your financial future. The sooner treatment begins the better the chance for success. Early intervention reduces the risk of illness, injury, increased legal and insurance rate, and completion of educational or professional goals.
Compare. The cost of treatment amounts to very little in the big picture.
The differences in annual income for one single year between finishing school and failing to complete a degree adds up.
Even using the most conservative estimates, the economics of addiction create a devastating financial impact for years to come.
The cost of treatment often amounts to only a few weeks or months of use when the total impact is calculated.
