Cumberland, 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.
Cumberland, a scenic city nestled in the Appalachian Mountains of western Maryland, offers a picturesque setting for healing during drug rehab. With its vibrant arts district, outdoor recreation, and cultural attractions, Cumberland provides an ideal environment for recovery. However, the city has seen a 15% increase in opioid-related overdose deaths and a 20% rise in fentanyl-related fatalities from 2020 to 2024, highlighting the need for effective addiction treatment and support.
