Drug and
Alcohol Abuse

IN 2023, 477 USERS WERE ASSISTED IN 10 PROGRAMS.

According to SENDA-Chile, nearly 650,000 people between 12-24 present problematic alcohol/drug abuse in Chile. From the above figure, almost 132,000 are willing to receive treatment; however, the total offer for therapeutic programs (including State and civil society) is limited to 22,000 places annually. So, a massive gap of over 109,000 treatment plans cannot be performed.

As consumption varies according to exogen elements to people, like socioeconomic situation and networks, the covid pandemic became an extra factor that worsened the possibilities of controlling it.

Hogar de Cristo supports those more disadvantaged, facing poverty and social exclusion, and they present problematic alcohol/drug abuse. The foundation also provides fundamental advice on prevention for companies and educational organizations.
