Alcohol abuse and treatment in the United States cost nearly $43 billion in 1975- including $19.64 billion in lost production, $12.74 billion in health and medical costs, $5.4 billion in motor vehicle accidents, $2.86 billion in violent crimes, $1.94 billion in social responses, and $0.43 billion in fire losses. There are about 13 million problem drinkers (including alcoholics) in the United States. Of these, less than 10 percent seek treatment. For those receiving treatment, the overall improvement rate ranges from 30 to 70 percent, depending on how broadly improvement is defined.
