 - 
Nearly 90 percent of people who use substance/drugs do not experience as substance used disorders, thus not requiring inpatient treatment. Informal services (self-care and community treatment) are the most needed and also the cheapest to set up and provide. However, many countries often establish the most expensive and intensive types of services, which focus on institutions (Community-Based Drug Services for People Who Use Drugs in Southeast Asia, 2018).
