Substance Abuse in Florida

Florida was heavily impacted at the beginning of the opioid crisis in the early 2000s, exploding with hundreds of pill mills throughout the state, operated by unscrupulous doctors willing to prescribe powerful opioids for no more than a fee. Although the pill mills have been mostly shut down across the state, Florida continues to bear a heavy burden from the opioid crisis. According to the 2015 Treatment Episode Data Set (TEDS), more than ten thousand of the thirty thousand Florida residents who sought addiction treatment did so with opioids or heroin as their primary substance of abuse.

Despite this high rate, slightly more people in Florida sought treatment citing alcohol as their primary or secondary substance of abuse. The TEDS report also showed that Florida is consistent with states throughout the country, with the majority of people seeking treatment between ages twenty-five to thirty-four years old.

Between 2012 and 2015, the opioid overdose death rate in Florida dipped below the national average, however 2015 began a sharp uptick in fentanyl and morphine overdose death rates, according to the Florida Medical Examiners 2016 Report. Since 2015, Florida has once again seen an overdose death rate above the national average, mostly due to the abuse of synthetic opioids such as fentanyl.
