    About United Rehabs

    The most comprehensive open resource for global addiction statistics, covering 195 countries and all 51 US states with data from the world's leading health organizations.

    Our Mission

    Substance use disorders affect over 292 million people worldwide, yet reliable data remains scattered across hundreds of reports and databases. United Rehabs exists to change that. We aggregate, verify, and present addiction statistics from authoritative global sources in one accessible platform — empowering researchers, policymakers, journalists, educators, and families with the information they need.
