A report commissioned by the Maryland General Assembly revealed that available services for substance abusers don't adequately meet the needs of the state's residents.

"The report says Maryland would have to admit 14,423 people to treatment programs each year to meet the need. In Prince George's County, the report says 4,606 more people each year require treatment than receive it."

The report also states that Prince George's County admits the fewest people for treatment per 100,000 residents than does any other county in Maryland.Source: WBFF News (Baltimore)
