Drug And Alcohol Addiction In Columbus, Ohio

Columbus is the capital and largest city of the state of Ohio. It’s also ranked as the 14th largest city in the US. The Opioid epidemic is raging in Columbus, and Ohio has led the nation in Opioid overdose deaths. Rehabs that exist locally and in surrounding areas can help someone trying to kick the habit get clean in as safe a way as possible.

Additionally, 1 in 9 Heroin-related deaths that have happened in the US have occurred in Ohio. The Kaiser analysis showed that Ohio had the highest number of deaths from synthetic Opioids like Fentanyl and Carfentanil, with 7.4% of national deaths attributed to the state. Illegally-produced Fentanyl can be 50 to 100 times stronger than Heroin.

The annual cost of Opioid misuse, including addiction and overdose, in the state of Ohio has been estimated as between $6.6 billion and $8.8 billion. Ohio has only had the capacity to treat 20% to 40% of the estimated 92,000 to 170,000 state residents who were and/or are misusing or dependent on Opioids.

In Columbus specifically, overdose deaths have continued to spike.
