Substance Use Disorders. Substance use disorders in the United States remain a significant national public health concern for healthcare providers, policymakers, community leaders, and health researchers. Data from NSDUH estimates that in 2012, among people 12 years of age and older, 22.2 million met the criteria specified in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 4th edition (DSM-IV) for substance dependence or abuse. [4] This constitutes approximately 8.5% of entire the U.S. population. [4] Despite the high prevalence of SUD, there remains an exceptionally large substance abuse treatment gap in the U.S. For example, while 22.2 million people in 2012 met the criteria for SUD, only 4.0 million people reported receiving any type of substance abuse treatment. More specifically only 2.5 million people reported receiving substance abuse treatment in a specialty treatment setting. [4] These large treatment gaps pose alarming public health implications given that untreated SUD causes a variety physical and mental health issues ranging from depression [5-11], engagement in criminal and high-risk behaviors [12,13], and death. [14-18] Thus, identifying all possible barriers and inducements to seeking SUD treatment is an important public health priority. As with other areas of public health research, a growing body of literature is investigating the role of religion as a factor influencing the prevention and treatment of SUD.
