Roanoke, Virginia Addiction and Treatment
The state of Virginia has been struggling with substance use and abuse like the rest of the United States. A little over 10% of the entire Virginia population uses drugs and almost 5% abuse alcohol every given year. This has led to almost 6.5% of all deaths in Virginia being somehow related to alcohol and/or drugs.
Nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains, Roanoke offers an idyllic setting for outdoor pursuits like hiking and rock climbing. Tragically, the area grapples with a severe opioid crisis - in 2022, Roanoke County recorded 97 opioid-related deaths, with fentanyl involved in 71% of cases, exceeding the state average.
