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.
