Young americans don't ask for help

A recent study shows that 7,000,000 Americans aged 18 to 25 need help for drug or alcoohol abuse.  93% of them did not get the help they needed.  96% of those did not perceive they needed help. And only one third of that slim 4 % took a step to get help.  The research was based on home interviews : 8% had a drug problem and 17 % an alcohol problem, based on DSM4R definitions.  access to Medicaid or CHIP triples participation to a detox program.
