Across the country, substance abuse is a growing problem. This is particularly noticeable in urban, heavily populated areas like Sacramento. For instance, in 2007, 29.7% of Californian adults were known to binge drink, much lower than than 30.2% in Sacramento. On the other hand, recently, there has been an improvement in the rates of substance abuse. In 2013, there was a 20% decrease in the number of hospital admissions related to drug and alcohol. This could be an indicator that intervention efforts in the city are working.

Statistics on Drug and Alcohol Abuse in Sacramento

Various indicators are used to determine the extent of the substance abuse problem in Sacramento. One of those is admission rates to detox and rehab facilities. However, the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) does not believe this to be a reliable statistic on its own, as only around 11% of people who need treatment actually receive it.

Statistics on substance abuse in Sacramento have shown that:

  • 45.6% of people admitted to treatment are Caucasian, 24.3% are African American, and 45.6% are Hispanic.
  • 45.2% of those admitted are aged between 25 and 44.
  • Crime rates related to drug in Sacramento are marginally lower than the average of California as a whole, and they are dropping. 76% of those arrested are males between the age of 10 and 69.
  • 68% of those admitted to treatment facilities are male.
  • The rates of DUI arrests and accidents, including fatal ones, involving driving under the influence continues to be high, although the levels are decreasing. This is believed to be in part due to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety initiatives.
  • Fewer people are hospitalized per 100,000 people in Sacramento than in the state as a whole (169 versus 2005). This includes overdoses, and also other injuries as a result of drug abuse, such as infections or falls.
  • 36% of hospital admissions due to drugs were female, 38% were male, and 25% were unspecified.
  • While Sacramento sees significantly less hospital admissions in relation to substance abuse, it sees a higher mortality rate per 100,000 people (21.4 in the state and 27.05 in Sacramento).
  • 64% of deaths due to substance abuse were male.

Improved Addiction Treatment

There has been a marked increase in the number of people who seek detox and rehab treatment to cope with their addiction. By 2008, some 8,756 people per year sought treatment. People seek treatment for different substances:

  1. 56.8% for cannabis
  2. 26.2% for methamphetamine
  3. 6% for heroin
  4. 4% for cocaine
  5. 2% for alcohol
  6. 5% for other substances

Two elements in these statistics are very surprising. Firstly, in most other parts of the country, alcohol is the most abused substance and the substance that treatment is most often given for. Secondly, prescription medication abuse does not (yet) appear on this list. 387 people died in Sacramento as a result of accidental overdose. Meanwhile, 126 people died as a result of alcoholic liver disease. Other causes of death relating to substance abuse include alcohol poisoning, intentional overdose, myopathy, dependence, and psychosis.

It seems that the intervention efforts that Sacramento has put in place are working. While much remains to be done, the picture is improving.
