Key figures on addiction and treatment
- Addiction caused social costs of CHF 7.86 billion in Switzerland in 2017, with health care the largest share at 49% (Obsan, 2017).
- Switzerland recorded 10.3 hospital stays per 1,000 inhabitants linked to a substance-related disorder in 2024, most often involving alcohol (Obsan, 2024).
- About 6 in 10 Swiss addiction services report that more than 60% of their clients have a co-occurring mental disorder (Addiction Switzerland, 2024).
- Most people with addiction need at least 3 months of treatment to reduce or stop drug use significantly, and longer treatment gives the best outcomes (NIDA, 2018).
“substance use disorders should be treated like any other chronic illness.”
