Productivity Losses From Substance Use Disorder in the U.S. in 2023

American Journal of Preventive Medicine

Information on morbidity-related productivity losses attributable to substance use disorder is limited. This study estimates morbidity-related productivity losses attributable to substance use disorder among U.S. adults aged ≥18 years in 2023. It found that total morbidity-related productivity losses attributable to substance use disorder in the U.S. are substantial, amounting to $92.65 billion in 2023. Inability to work cost accounted for $45.25 billion, followed by absenteeism cost of $25.65 billion, presenteeism cost of $12.06 billion, and cost of household productivity loss of $9.68 billion. Given that these estimates depend on the prevalence of substance use disorder and the amount of lost productive time, evidence-based prevention efforts and policies addressing them can help reduce these losses.
