Addiction affects millions of people worldwide, with the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) reporting that in 2019, 20.4 million people in the United States alone battled a substance use disorder. The road to recovery can be challenging, and studies have shown that strong relationships and social support networks can significantly improve the chances of long-term sobriety.
