The Correlation Between Addiction and Unemployment

The stress, fear, depression and overabundance of free time that occurs from being unemployed has been known to increase a person’s risk of falling into a substance abuse problem. The video below shows just how much unemployment and drugs are intertwined. We broke the numbers down by age groups, employment status, ethnicity, and by year from 2003-2012.

Unemployment and addiction creates a vicious cycle that traps a person in poverty and a dangerous lifestyle. If you or a loved one needs help getting out of this cycle, contact 12 Keys Rehab to talk with our expert staff about how we can help.

This place saved my son and our family! Awesome counselors and staff. After 9 years of multiple facilities we found 12 Keys. One year later my son is clean and doing well. Thank you 12 Keys.

As an industry professional 12 Keys has become one of my most trusted resources. Patient care and engagement are always top notch, and I know that I can always trust that the patient and their families will be in the best position to recover. Solid clinically, and more importantly these are good and genuinely caring people. I cannot recommend 12 Keys at the River enough for those struggling with addiction.

This place saved my life. The team that helped me get in was very helpful and showed that they really care. They made the detoxing portion 10x easier to deal with than trying cold turkey. The programming has an excellent balance of class and activities. I learned so much there. Just the ability to cope with life. They've set me up for success with a boat load of tools and the team they have to support your recovery is amazing. Thanks journeypure
