About Addicted Nation Solutions and the Founder
Patricia Henderson has been involved with addiction and recovery for over 35 years. Her inspiration comes from her own recovery, her family and her friends. She was the Founder and the Executive Director of a multi-state housing and treatment program known as Women in New Recovery, a nonprofit, with headquarters in Mesa and Prescott, AZ from 1993-2017.
Upon selling the non-profit program she and her Board of Directors decided that the proceeds from the sale be used to create a neutral space where innovative ideas and approaches would be fostered and flushed out that there might be a breakthrough in the journey from addiction to long term recovery. Thus, a non-profit, Addicted Nation Solutions, founded on the concept that with knowledge comes responsibility, was formed. Ms. Henderson believes that bringing experienced colleagues together to share ideas and pioneer new approaches will have a profound impact on long term sobriety in our society.
Substance Use Disorders – The Problem
According to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMSHA) Substance use disorders occur when the recurrent use of alcohol and/or drugs causes clinically significant impairment, including health problems, disability, and failure to meet major responsibilities at work, school, or home. In 2014, about 21.5 million Americans ages 12 and older (8.1%) were classified with a substance use disorder in the past year.
The Cost of Substance Abuse According to the National Institute of Drug Abuse (NIDA): Abuse of tobacco, alcohol, and illicit drugs is costly to our Nation, exacting more than $740 billion annually in costs related to crime, lost work productivity and health care.
