The U.S. mental health and addiction treatment centers market size is expected to reach USD 225.23 billion by 2030 and is expected to reach at 6.3% CAGR from 2023 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The market is primarily driven by the increasing prevalence of mental health and substance use disorders in the country. This trend has been attributed to several factors, including societal pressures, rising rates of substance abuse, and the impact of a sedentary lifestyle on mental health. In addition, government initiatives such as the Affordable Care Act have expanded health coverage and mandated coverage of substance abuse treatment, increasing demand for treatment services. For instance, in March 2022, Secretary Becerra initiated the HHS National Tour to Strengthen Mental Health, as a part of President Joe Biden's efforts to transform mental health services for all Americans.
The market has witnessed significant growth in recent years due to factors such as the increasing prevalence of mental health disorders such as depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, and substance use disorders. As per The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), mental illnesses are prevalent throughout the U.S., affecting a significant portion of the population. In 2021, it was estimated that over 57.8 million U.S. adults, or more than one in five, lived with a mental illness.
The rising prevalence of substance abuse disorders serves as a driving factor for the growth of the mental health and addiction treatment center market. The government has increasingly prioritized treatment over punitive measures for substance abuse, with treatment programs and facilities becoming the accepted method of addressing addiction. There were 16,066 substance abuse facilities in the U.S. in 2020, with the highest concentration in California.
Government initiatives have been a key driver of growth in the market. The addiction treatment industry in the U.S. has undergone significant changes in the past years due to two main factors such as the opioid epidemic and the implementation of the Affordable Care Act (ACA). The surge in overdose deaths since the early 2000s has resulted in a crisis of unprecedented magnitude. Meanwhile, the ACA has provided healthcare coverage to millions of Americans who were previously uninsured and required the inclusion of substance abuse treatment. This has led to a significant increase in demand for treatment services.
