The Impact of Addiction in New York

New York Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities

Due to the numerous ports and intricate transportation infrastructure, drugs can easily be trafficked into New York– and on toward other states for further distribution. While substance abuse has been declining in the New York City metropolitan area, the rates remain higher than average when compared to the rest of the United States of America. Over 2 million New Yorkers are currently suffering from some type of substance abuse and many of those are minors. Alcohol abuse, in particular, is prevalent among those underage. It is estimated that roughly 15% of all teens in New York begin drinking before the age of 13.

Obviously a great place to visit and live, but New York, like all other states, has problems with drug and substance abuse.

It is reported that in total about a million adult New Yorkers struggle with alcohol abuse while nearly half a million residents admit to using hard drugs such as cocaine and heroin.

As a result of the high prices and regulation of prescription drugs, many New Yorkers turn to heroin instead. This has led to a serious heroin epidemic in the state.

  5. Binge drinking is one of the largest problems in New York, with over half the population engaging in this at least once a month. This has led to New York having an alcohol dependency of about 6.6%, which translates to about 1.1 million New Yorkers.
