The Impact of Addiction in Alaska

Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers in Alaska

Alaska has around 3 million lakes, 3,000 rivers and 100,000 glaciers. There are 17 of America’s 20 highest peaks in the county, including Mt McKinley at 20,320 ft. Alaska is so huge that parts of it are still unmapped today. Kayakers will paddle under jumbo glaciers with humpback whales, skiers get to the Chugach Mountains by helicopter. The state is home to the Kodiak bears, the giant moose and the famous bald eagle. Alaska offers the Inside Passage and rustic fishing lodges for adrenaline junkies.

Alaska is enduring a multi-faceted drug and alcohol abuse problem. A large number of those who abuse substances in The Last Frontier often abuse more than one drug–while some even use multiple substances simultaneously. Due to the mixing of substances, the substance-related overdose rate in Alaska is high when compared to the national average of the United States.

Due to its remote location, Alaska is an ideal place for drug traffickers. Various types of drugs are smuggled into the state and are widely available to the population. Most of these controlled substances are smuggled in through Mexico and South America.

There are a lot of things to love about Alaska, but there are also places in Alaska that struggle with drug and alcohol addiction.

Alaskans also gain access to drugs via medical prescribers and doctors. They overprescribe and often illicitly sell drugs that are intended for medical purposes. This has led to an increase in prescription drug abuse throughout the state.

Many residents also order their drugs from the internet. Alaska has several illegal websites where individuals can order drugs that have been smuggled into the state. In recent years, there has also been an increase in thefts from hospitals, nursing homes, as well as pharmacies.

One of the main reasons for the rates of substance abuse in Alaska is the low light levels. These levels impact other issues such as mental health, which often causes Alaskans to use more substances. This use can eventually turn into abuse and/or addiction.

Alcohol and drug abuse are also the major contributing factor to crime in Alaska. It is reported that over 20% of all abused women in the state had experienced a sexual assault involving alcohol at least once. Both domestic assault cases and sexual abuse cases in Alaska are often related to alcohol, and many other violent crimes in the state are drug-related.
