Our Data Sources
Every statistic on United Rehabs is traceable to an official source. We compile data from the world's most authoritative health organizations:
Official data may carry a 1–2 year reporting lag. Where country-specific data is unavailable, we note estimates derived from regional averages. See our Data Methodology for full details on collection and verification.
Our Standards
Accuracy First: Every data point is cross-referenced against official publications. We clearly label estimates and distinguish them from confirmed figures.
Transparency: All statistics include source attribution, year of publication, and methodology notes. We don't round numbers to appear more impressive — we show exact figures.
Regular Updates: Our data team monitors new releases from WHO, SAMHSA, CDC, and other agencies to keep statistics current.
