Substance Abuse Statistics in Frisco, TX

 

To get a clear idea of the extent of the dependency and addiction problem in Frisco, a number of studies have been conducted. The results indicated that the average age at which someone would first start smoking daily was 20.1 years old, which is slightly older than what it was in 2007 (19.2 years). Smoking is a common gateway drug, but with the average age being over 18, this is not the greatest concern in terms of drugs and alcohol for Frisco. However, there were some interesting statistics about tobacco smoke as well:

 

  • 41.6% of smokers are aged between 18 and 25.
  • 11.6% of smokers are aged between 12 and 17.
  • 27.3% of smokers are aged over 26.

 

The city does have particular concerns about young people and substance abuse. What they found was that preferred substances varied depending on the age category that young people were in. It was observed that:

 

  • 1.6% of 12 to 13 year old people abused or used prescription medication in a non-medical way. Furthermore, 0.8% abused cannabis.
  • 6.3% of 14 to 15 year old young people abused cannabis. 3.3% used prescription drugs in a non-medical way, and 0.8% abused inhalants and hallucinogenics.
  • 14% of 16 to 17 year old young people abused cannabis. 4.3% used prescription medication in a non-medical way, and 1.6% abused hallucinogenics, 0.8% abused inhalants, and 0.6% abused cocaine.

 

Initiatives and Treatment in Frisco, TX

 

What these statistics have shown Frisco public health officials is that there is a desperate need for intervention and prevention methods to be put in place. Cannabis is a gateway drug to harder substances, and prescription medication is a gateway drug to heroin. Hence, significant efforts have to be put in place, or many young people will require detox and rehab treatment later on in life.

 

Frisco is very keen to ensure that people are aware of the fact that detox and rehab treatment is available. In order to lower the incidents of crime associated with substance abuse, they have also instated the Frisco Texas Drug Court Testing system, which means that people who seek treatment after they have gotten involved with the law and become clean are able to avoid a prison sentence. This does require them to prove that they have beaten their addiction.
