Indianapolis, Indiana Addiction and Treatment
The state of Indiana ranks 14th in the nation for drug abuse, but 17th for drug overdoses. The state has many high-quality rehabilitation centers, but reports show that there are about 20 deaths per 100,000 people. This is due to its location making it a drug trafficking haven, where many drugs are further distributed into the country.
Indianapolis boasts an array of attractions, from hiking trails to world-class museums. But lurking beneath is a grim reality: 801 accidental overdose deaths in 2021, with fentanyl detected in 96% of opioid-related cases in 2022. And a 28% spike in overall overdoses from 2020 to 2022.
