Last year, 20,894 people between 10 and 19 years old were treated for addictions to alcohol and drugs by the Ministry of Health in the country. Ie, 0.66% of the population in the country of those ages. Almost 80% is concentrated in Guayas. This can not be compared with data from 2014, because from September of that year, the assistance program gradually began by cities and by age group.
