Substance abuse statistics in Orange County, VT
Orange County, VT, like many other regions in the United States, has been impacted by substance abuse and addiction[1]. The National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH) provides estimates of substance use and mental illness at the national, state, and substate levels[2]. According to the NSDUH, in 2019, an estimated 9.3% of Orange County adults reported using illicit drugs in the past month[3]. This rate is slightly higher than the state average of 8.7% and the national average of 9.7%[4]. While the rates of substance abuse in Orange County may not be significantly higher than other areas, substance abuse remains a significant concern for the community.
The NSDUH data also provide insight into the most commonly abused substances in Orange County. In 2019, the most commonly used illicit drugs in Orange County were marijuana, prescription pain relievers, and cocaine[4]. Of particular concern is the high rate of opioid use in Vermont, which has been identified as a public health crisis[5]. Prescription opioid misuse and heroin use have contributed to a significant increase in overdose deaths in the state, including Orange County[6]. The impact of substance abuse on individuals, families, and communities cannot be overstated, and addressing this issue requires a multifaceted approach.
The impact of substance abuse extends beyond individuals and families and can have a significant impact on communities as a whole[2]. Substance abuse can lead to increased healthcare costs, decreased productivity, and increased crime rates[7]. The Orange County Drugs and Alcohol Report highlights the need for increased prevention efforts, early intervention, and access to treatment for those struggling with substance abuse[8]. By addressing substance abuse at the community level, Orange County can work towards reducing the negative impact of substance abuse on its residents and promoting a healthier, safer community for all.
