Economic stress is a major cause of addiction and alcoholism. However, help is available to assist those with substance abuse issues who want to find better ways of dealing with such stress.

In the past, the US has not done a good job of addressing the issues of mental disease and addiction. America has traditionally treated these as criminal behaviors rather than medical and psychological disorders. However, this is changing. Under the Affordable Care Act, insurance companies will be required to pay for substance abuse treatment by 2014. In the meantime, the law is expanding access to

counseling services through block grants to the states.
