One in 7 Americans reports experiencing a substance use disorder, according to the CDC.

Some people may use drugs to help cope with stress or trauma. Others may use them to deal with mental health issues. Others still may even develop opioid use disorder after misusing opioids they are prescribed by their doctors for ailments like back pain.

In any case, using drugs over time makes it easier to become addicted.

Yet for those that become addicted, just one in 10 people will receive treatment. The reasons for this low rate range from stigma to difficulty actually accessing treatment services.

It’s something Steve Adami is keeping a close watch on.

Steve spent two decades in and out of jails and prison. Today, he is Executive Director of The Way Out, a recovery-focused homeless initiative of The Salvation Army.

Ultimately, Steve wants to make sure it’s easy for anyone who wants to get treatment to get treatment. And he's on the show to share more about the effort to do just that.
