Glendale, AZ, has a severe situation when it comes to drug, alcohol, and other substance abuse problems. One of the largest problems is that of non-medical use of prescription drugs. Additionally, there has been an increase in the number of people addicted to heroin, which, on a national basis, follows the trend of an epidemic caused by prescription opioids being harder and more expensive to get hold of.
The Drug Culture in Glendale
There have been various pieces of research to show what the current drug culture in Glendale is like. These reports found that:
Treatment in Glendale
One of the positive aspects of the substance abuse situation in Glendale is that, with or without intervention, many people come forward to seek treatment. As a result, more detox facilities have been made available, and rehab centers are opening their doors, offering both inpatient and outpatient services. Outpatient services continue to be the most popular, with 93.9% of those seeking help going there. This is due to the convenience of being able to continue to meet personal, professional, and/or educational responsibilities.
Glendale also takes a holistic, whole family approach. They have put various intervention systems and other resources in place to make sure people can get the help that they need, and also to understand the important role of the family. The emphasis is on communication, bringing together the family as a unit. Interestingly, this approach is so popular, that, on average, some 31,514 people are in rehab treatment in Arizona on any one given day, and that many of them are from out of state.
Unfortunately, one issue that Glendale is struggling to address is that of fatalities. The rate of deaths in Glendale is 17.5 per 100,000, which is much higher than the 12.4/100,000 in the rest of the country. Most disconcerting is the fact that many of these deaths were due to suicide.
Drug abuse also has a significant impact on the criminal justice system. Overprescribing and trafficking are being addressed, including through various amnesty efforts. Today, if people are caught trafficking, the penalties for doing so are very serious.
Dual Diagnosis
Another thing that sets Glendale apart from the rest of the country is its focus on co-occurring disorders. This means that people who have a substance abuse problem or addiction, also have a mental health problem. These must be treated as a continuum if someone is to recover, something that Glendale officials are very much aware of. It is hoped that, by recognizing the existence of co-occurring disorders, more people will get the help they need.
