Around 80% of crimes in the state of Tennessee are related to drugs in some way or another. The same is true for Nashville. As a result of this, city officials have accepted that it is critical that they put intervention efforts in place to combat illicit drug and alcohol abuse. However, in setting up these efforts and in trying to create detox and rehab treatment options for those trapped in the cycle of addiction, they have discovered some unusual things about the level of substance abuse.

Meth Labs in Tennessee

In the state of Tennessee, there are some 800 meth labs operating at any given time. Indeed, rehab facilities in Nashville report that many of those who are admitted have a problem with meth. This drug is costing the community millions of dollars in criminal justice, health care, and personal costs.

Heroin and Fentanyl in Nashville

Unfortunately, the real problem in Nashville is heroin. The level of heroin abuse has been rising rapidly over recent years, and the consequences of this drug are likely to be even more serious since recent seizures have uncovered that it is often cut with fentanyl. Fentanyl is a synthetic opiate said to be 50 times stronger than heroin. It is used for severe pain and can be lethal even if it is accidentally absorbed in the skin. Overdoses are often fatal and very rapid.

One particular concern for Nashville officials is for its law enforcement personnel. It is now known that heroin is regularly laced with fentanyl and, as a form of intervention, the TBI has launched an intervention that enables all forensic scientists and agents that may come into contact with the drug to have handheld auto injectors.

Problem with Oxycodone

Heroin laced with fentanyl is not the only problem. Recently, in a traffic stop in Nashville, a stash of what seemed to be oxycodone pills was uncovered. Upon examination, these pills were also found to contain fentanyl. This gave rise to a public announcement, providing people with an amnesty if they returned their oxycodone tablets for fear of contamination. This also served as an opportunity to help those with an addiction and direct them to treatment.

Prescription Drug Abuse

Prescription drug abuse continues to be on the rise as well. It is believed that 5% of people in Nashville have used prescription painkillers for nonmedical reasons. Additionally, 70% of these people received these tablets from relatives or friends who had legitimate prescriptions. The consequences of this are far-reaching, including children having to be put in state custody.

Nashville has called out not just to its law enforcement personnel, but also to the general public to be very vigilant. Various treatment facilities are in place that people can go to if they currently suffer from a substance abuse disorder. The city authorities aim, as much as possible, to remove barriers to access, thereby encouraging people to seek the help they need. Rehab has been proven to be incredibly successful, particularly when combined with strong aftercare programs, and Nashville hopes to be able to beat its rising substance abuse problem through these.
