The Impact of Addiction in North Carolina

North Carolina Drug Addiction Treatment Centers

The state’s 480 km of beaches are a trap for sun worshipers and adrenaline junkies. Biltmore House is the largest home in the United States, reminiscent of the French ch‰teau. The oldest town in the state is Bath, but here you are more likely to find signs of BlackBeard than Jane Austen. North Carolina is popular for its world-class ice climbing, especially on Whitesides Mountain.

Like many other states in the country, North Carolina also suffers from substance abuse. The Tar Heel state ranks 29th in the nation for overall substance abuse. Despite not ranking high, drugs pose a major problem for the state. There are a wide variety of drugs abused in North Carolina–and many of these are illicit.

Obviously there are a lot of things to love about North Carolina, but that does not mean it is drug and alcohol free.

One of the most commonly abused drugs is opioids. These include both illicit opioids and prescription opioids. Prescription opioids are readily available throughout the state due to the high rates of medical workers prescribing them. The number of prescriptions has increased tenfold since the 1980s when pain-management protocols in North Carolina officially changed.

Drug overdoses are the most common type of death in North Carolina. These deaths are usually opioid-related. Due to the high opioid overdose and opioid abuse rates, the state implemented the ‘Strengthen Opioid Misuse Prevention’ (STOP) Act in 2017. This act aims to decrease the amount of unused, misused, and diverted opioids in North Carolina. However, the medical use of opioids is still supported. For the medical use of opioids, the act implemented different rules for prescribers to follow. These rules include the number of opioids that can be prescribed to patients as well as forcing prescribers to electronically prescribe the drugs in an attempt to lower the chances of opioid fraud.

Another important act implemented in North Carolina is the ‘Heroin and Opioid Prevention and Enforcement’ (HOPE) Act in 2018. The HOPE act’s primary goal is to provide law enforcement throughout the state with the necessary tools and information to break up local drug rings. The act also ensured that fentanyl was recognized as an illicit drug–thereby including fentanyl trafficking in the state’s trafficking laws.
