Substance Use Disorder is a common health condition affecting millions of Americans. Approximately 49 million people in the U.S. population aged 12 or older had a substance use disorder in 2021—and most went without treatment. That amounted to 17.3% of the population living with these disorders, according to 2022 Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration data released in November 2023. In Kansas, there were about 8,226 people in substance use treatment in 2021 or 280 for every 100,000 residents. It ranks #44 among states for the share of its population seeking treatment and has 153 substance-use treatment facilities. Other SAMSHA data suggests that about 17.0% of the state’s population has a substance use disorder, ranking #24 among U.S. states and D.C. *
