Drug and Alcohol Addiction Treatment Centers in Illinois

Illinois has a landscape marked with forests, rolling hills, farmland, and wetlands, located just west of Indiana and directly to the east of the Mississippi River. With a population of just under thirteen million people, the capital city of Chicago is well known for its renowned museums, post-Impressionist works of art, and the Tribune Tower, which stands among a skyline of skyscrapers famous in modern architecture.

Substance Abuse in Illinois

Illinois is an example of a big-city state ravaged by the opioid epidemic in the state's most rural areas. The Illinois Department of Health Services (DHS) issued a 2017 report stating that the highest incidences of naloxone administrations by EMS personnel took place in fourteen Illinois counties with populations fewer than 55,000, while the average population of counties in Illinois is 126,078. Contrary to what may be a common belief, the larger opioid overdose death rate has been more of an issue in the state's rural counties rather than in and around the capital city of Chicago.

The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) reports that the number of heroin-related overdose deaths from 2012 to 2016 rose from 269 to 1,040, a nearly fourfold increase. NIDA also reports that over the same period of 2012 to 2016, the number of synthetic opioid overdose deaths rose significantly from 84 to 907. Synthetic opioids like fentanyl and carfentanil have been responsible for a massive uptick in overdose deaths throughout the nation. These staggering numbers of opioid overdose deaths in the state of Illinois come with a 2015 opioid prescription rate of 60 per 100,000 people, well below the national average of 70 prescriptions per 100,000 people.

Based on a 2015 Treatment Episode Data Set (TEDS) report, heroin or other opioids were the primary substance of abuse for over seven thousand addiction treatment admissions. Compared to just over six thousand admissions for alcohol as the primary or secondary substance of abuse, Illinois is directly in the crosshairs of the opioid epidemic.
