The Drug Epidemic
The Numbers Don’t Lie
Drug and alcohol abuse are an ever-increasing issue in society. The rate at which people are suffering is also rapidly increasing as the availability to substance abuse as a coping mechanism for trauma is an open-door 24/7. As long as trauma and substance abuse go unaddressed and unresolved, people will continue to suffer. Statistically, we are losing the battle to substance abuse and the cost of addiction is skyrocketing. Rather than criticize the numbers facing addictions, Ravenswood Consulting works to offer solutions and problem solve.
