Baltimore, Maryland Addiction and Treatment
For the past decade, Maryland's rate of drug use and abuse has significantly increased. The overdose rate is currently higher than the national average. This epidemic is due to the many industries where manual labor is required. As soon as prescription opioids were more readily accessible a large part of manual workers started using–and eventually abusing–the painkillers.
Baltimore, a historic seaport city in Maryland, offers a variety of attractions such as the National Aquarium, Maryland Science Center, and numerous parks and trails. The city also boasts a thriving arts scene with museums, orchestras, and festivals showcasing local talent. In 2021, opioid overdoses in Baltimore County decreased by 15% from the previous year. However, fentanyl was involved in 973 of the 1,079 drug and alcohol-related intoxication deaths in Baltimore City during that same year.
