McKinney, Texas, is home to approximately 54,369 people, making it a relatively small city. It is found in Collin County and it is around 20 miles outside of Garland and 13 miles outside of Plano. While a small town, it grew by around 155% during the 1990s. Today, it continues to grow rapidly, by approximately 14.5% per year. Although an attractive place to live, work, and raise a family, McKinney has some problems with drug and alcohol abuse. That said, property and violent crime levels, both of which are directly correlated to the levels of substance abuse, are lower than the state average. This is believed to be due to the fact that officials in McKinney are keen to prevent the development of an addiction problem in the first place, putting various prevention and intervention methods in place to combat it.

 

Facts on Substance Abuse in McKinney, TX

 

  • 4.8% of people who abuse substances feel that they abuse them to a level that would require treatment in a specialized detox or rehab facility.
  • 23.3% of those who said they needed treatment tried to get treatment, but 76.7% were not able to.

 

The above statistics have shown McKinney officials that more needs to be done to make sure people with a dependency or addiction can get the help they need, and that barriers towards seeking and accessing detox and rehab facilities are removed. One way in which they are achieving this is through the Collin County DWI/Drug Court, whereby nonviolent offenders are referred for treatment in lieu of a prison sentence.

 

Meanwhile, there is a significant concern about young people and substance abuse. While statistics had been improving, there has been a decline in this again. Today, among McKinney residents aged between 12 and 17:

 

  • 7.3% use cannabis (up from 6.7% in 2008).
  • 3.1% use prescription medication in a non-medical way (up from 2.9% in 2008).

 

This has given rise to a number of new educational, prevention, and intervention efforts. McKinney public officials have created partnerships and coalitions with educators, law enforcement, health officials, and the community as a whole in order to ensure that young people avoid getting trapped in the cycle of addiction.

 

Lastly, the city wanted to determine whether certain ethnic groups had a greater predisposition for developing an addiction. Looking specifically at tobacco use among those aged 12 and above, they found that:

 

  • 11.9% of Asians smoked.
  • 23.3% of Hispanics smoked.
  • 26.5% of blacks smoked.
  • 29.6% of whites smoked.
  • 36.6% of mixed raced people smoked.
  • 41.8% of Alaska Natives and American Indians smoked.

 

Similar ethnic disparities were found among users of smokeless tobacco.

 

McKinney officials are committed to continue to work on improving the lives of members of the community by providing them with a system of intervention and treatment should they have fallen victim to substance abuse. These efforts include increased availability of detox and rehab facilities. At the same time, they aim to drive people away from substances in the first place, by providing them with healthy alternatives instead.
