No, there is no such information. It is difficult to track statistics of recovering people. Here’s why: today an addicted person is feeling good, but tomorrow he can relapse and become a drug user again. That is to say, yesterday he belonged to the category of recovering people, but tomorrow he can be a drug addict again. It is important to realize that addiction to alcohol or drugs is a chronic disease with one important rule, it works “from relapse to remission.” You probably know that there are two types of relapses – a wet one, when people take drugs or alcohol, and a dry one, when a person cannot deal with his emotions such as anger, irritation, etc. Mostly the “dry” relapse occurs. And if someone will not understand that he has a dry relapse in time, it can expand to the “wet” one. All these things make difficult to give exact statistics of recovering addicts.
