150+ Addiction Resources & Statistics from around the World

Over 600,000 people worldwide die each year from overdose. Yet studies show that substance abuse treatment with aftercare programs reduce rates of relapse and improve social and emotional well-being.

Picking the right treatment center is a crucial step to a successful recovery. Different programs treat different addictions and offer different types of care, such as inpatient and outpatient recovery, detox, and telehealth. While most providers have their clients’ best  interest in mind, people suffering from dependence are vulnerable to being exploited and may need help finding a quality facility.

To help, this website has compiled a list of more than 176 centers across the globe that are specialized in battling various forms of addiction. The site also includes some relevant statistics that highlight the urgency of the issue and dispel some myths about common addictions.

Speak Up exists to transform the world on behalf of the poor.

Our mission is to create a new reality for girls in poverty.

We will pursue this mission by building an international network of people and organizations running Girls Education Programs, safe homes for girls, and other programs to defend and empower girls in poverty. 

We advocate for girls in poverty in three inter-connected ways:

We run a Girls Education Program which sponsors girls in poverty to stay in school and on the path to success. We want to help transform the way the world thinks about poor girls, and to ensure that girls in poverty are free to live up to their fullest potential. Our long-term goal is to help thousands of girls in poverty to finish their education, get professional training, then return to serve their community and country as servants to the poor. From girls in poverty to themselves being advocates for the poor!

We seek to catalyze and fund safe homes for girls who are born into brothels, rescued from trafficking, or otherwise at risk of exploitation and abuse. Please contact us if you are interested in partnering with us in funding or operating a home for at-risk girls.

We investigate human rights abuses and do practical casework for the poor, particularly working on cases of violence and abuse against girls in poverty.  We partner with the justice system and local police to handle cases of illegal child marriage, kidnapping and rape, and other forms of sexual abuse and harassment.
