药物使用影响所有年龄、文化和社会经济水平的人。大多数服务不足的人群的物质使用率低于特定社会中的一般人群（不包括烟草使用）。然而，在服务不足的地区，药物滥用的影响更为严重，监禁率、失业率、发病率和死亡率更高。正在开发创新解决方案来解决这些差异。通过共同努力，可以帮助患有药物滥用问题、服务不足的患者走向健康和完整。
Substance use affects people of all ages, cultures, and socioeconomic levels. Most underserved populations have lower rates of substance use than the general population in a given society, excluding tobacco use. The impact of substance use is more severe, however, in the underserved, with higher rates of incarceration, job loss, morbidity, and mortality. Innovative solutions are being developed to address these differences. Working together, underserved patients with substance use problems can be helped on their journeys toward health and wholeness.
