Again, there are few statistics but there appears to be a high correlation between substance abuse and young men/women going OTD within the frum tzibur. Perhaps those disaffected from yiddeshkeit seek to find solace in drugs or whatever. The “good news” to the extent one can use the term is that there appear to be more resources focused on outreach and rehab for these segments of the OTD cohort than ever before as the scope of the problem is recognized as a public health issue as much as and “OTD” issue..
