Espanola & Bilingual Program
A LEADER IN BILINGUAL SUBSTANCE ABUSE TREATMENT SERVICES
Hispanic Americans are one of the fastest growing segments of the United States population. The U.S. Bureau of the Census estimates that there are 60 million people of Hispanic origin (as of July 1, 2018) living in the United States. And unfortunately, there are over 7.1% of Latino Americans suffering from Substance abuse & mental health issues
The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) reports that 91% of Hispanic Americans with a substance use disorder are unable to receive the treatment that they need at a substance abuse rehabilitation center. And those who do receive treatment do not fare as well as the rest of the population, as studies show that Hispanic Americans have poorer outcomes in substance abuse treatment programs.
Some of the disparities in treatment that occur within the Hispanic community can be resolved through increased availability of culturally sensitive treatment programs.

Statistics on Latino Communities
and Substance Abuse
- Research showed that co-occurring mood and anxiety disorders were common amongst Latinos and substance abuse in the U.S.
- Studies link a relationship between exposure to traumatic events and substance abuse in Latinos.
- Research shows that approximately 31.9% of white individuals, 28.1% of African Americans, and 30.1% of Hispanics showed signs of alcohol abuse, drug abuse, or mental health issues.
- Ninety-two percent of Latino youth with a SUD did not receive treatment in a specialty facility.
- Approximately 1.1 million Latino youth abused illicit drugs in the past year.
With over 60 million Hispanics currently residing in the United States and expected to increase to over 30% of the population by 2050, it is imperative that we address any substance abuse and addiction treatment disparities currently experienced by these individuals
