The one chart stated 1.9% further down the page listed numbers, which indicated over 21 million Americans had substance abuse issues. Obviously the numbers don’t jive.

The one chart stated 1.9%

For abuse/dependence on illicit drugs only.

further down the page listed numbers, which indicated over 21 million Americans had substance abuse issues.

For both alcohol and illicit drugs.

The number for illicit drugs is 5 million, which divided by 1.9% gives a total 12-and-older population of 260 million.
