AbstractIn 2003, almost 18 million people in the United States abused or were dependent on alcohol, and almost 20 million were illicit drug users. Many people abuse both alcohol and drugs. But the single most common avoidable cause of morbidity and mortality in the United States, resulting in more than 440,000 deaths and more than $75 billion in direct medical costs each year, is smoking, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The CDC estimates that 46.2 million adults in the United States smoke cigarettes and that 70% of those smokers have a desire to quit, representing a large potential market for smoking cessation products. In this report, we provide an overview of substance abuse and dependency and review current and emerging therapies for the treatment of addiction to alcohol, illicit drugs, and nicotine. In conclusion, we forecast changes in the market that will increase opportunities for companies that develop pharmacotherapeutic treatments for addiction.Get Full Details About This Report >> |
