Towson, 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.
Nestled just north of Baltimore, Towson offers a refreshing suburban escape with vibrant community events and a flourishing arts scene. Yet substance abuse casts a shadow, with fentanyl implicated in nearly 1,000 overdose deaths in Baltimore City and cocaine overdoses rising 37% in Baltimore County from 2018 to 2019.
