Abstract
More than 20 million people in the United States meet the criteria for substance use disorder, leading to $600 billion in health care expenditures annually. Despite this growing problem, only one in eight people with substance use disorder receives targeted care. The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs and the U.S. Department of Defense (VA/DoD) published updated clinical practice guidelines for managing substance use disorders, based on a systematic review.
