Peoria, Arizona, is home to some 108,364 people. It is found in Maricopa County and is 13 miles outside of Phoenix and 4 miles outside of Glendale. In the 1990s, there was a significant population boom, with the city growing by about 114%. Today, the population continues to grow quite rapidly, at a rate of around 5.5% per year. There is a significant problem in the city with drug and alcohol abuse, which is demonstrated in the rates of property crimes which are above the state average, and with which there is a positive correlation. However, there is an equally positive correlation with violent crimes, and those rates are actually lower in the Peoria area. This would suggest that the prevention, intervention, and treatment efforts that the city are effective.

 

Statistics on Substance Abuse in Peoria, AZ

 

A number of studies have been conducted to determine the level of the abuse, dependency, and addiction rates in the city. What these studies have found is that:

 

  • Around 10% of the population between the ages of 12 and 17 have abused substances. This represents an increase from the past count in 2008 and is a significant concern for public health officials.
  • Those who use or abuse alcohol are more likely to smoke as well. When looking at the population with ages 12 and above, 56.3% of those who reported heavy alcohol abuse also smoke. Meanwhile, 18.5% of those who drink with moderation also smoke. Among those who do not drink at all, 15.9% smoke.
  • Those who use or abuse alcohol are more likely to use smokeless tobacco or to smoke cigars. Among heavy drinkers 12.5% used smokeless tobacco and 17.6% smoked cigars. Among moderate drinkers, those statistics were 2.2% and 4.2%, respectively. Among nondrinkers, those statistics were 1.7% and 2.3%, respectively.

 

From the above statistics, smoking and drinking alcohol are clearly related, and it is also known that both are gateway drugs towards other addictivesubstances. This is why public health officials in Peoria have put a number of intervention efforts in place, particularly among young people. These efforts aim to educate the youth about the dangers of tobacco and alcohol abuse in the hopes of steering them towards healthier alternatives instead.

 

Meanwhile, the city also aimed to determine whether alcohol abuse was linked to ethnic origin, particularly in young people aged between 12 and 17. What they found was that:

 

  • Asians were the least likely to drink alcohol, with a rate of 6.5%.
  • 10.6% of black youths consumed alcohol.
  • 11.9% of American Indian or Alaska Natives consume alcohol.
  • 15.2% of Hispanic youths consume alcohol.
  • 16.1% of white youths consume alcohol.
  • The highest rate of alcohol consumption was found in the youth who identified with multiple races, with a rate of 16.7%.

 

What this has shown Peoria public health officials more than anything else was that there is a need for culturally sensitive detox and rehab treatment facilities, as well as treatment that is directed specifically at young people.
