Memphis, Tennessee Addiction and Treatment
Tennessee joins the list of states with an above-average rate for drug and/or alcohol-induced deaths. Most of these deaths are related to opioids, such as prescription opioids.

Memphis, a vibrant city on the Mississippi River, is known for its rich musical heritage, outdoor adventures, and mouthwatering barbecue. From hiking in Shelby Farms Park to exploring the Stax Museum of American Soul Music, Memphis offers a unique blend of culture and recreation. However, the city faces a significant challenge with opioid abuse, as Shelby County reported nearly 200 opioid-related deaths in 2015 and roughly 53 drug overdoses in a single week, largely attributed to fentanyl.
