Rehabs near Cincinnati

As one of the largest cities in Ohio, Cincinnati unfortunately suffers similarly to the rest of the state, which has seen some of the worst opioid related effects in the country. From 2015 to 2019, Cincinnati saw a 50% increase in opioid overdoses. Many states got to the point where overdoses began to fall, but Cincinnati seems to be struggling more and more with heroin and fentanyl. Fentanyl is so popular throughout Ohio that you can see its introduction to the state in increased overdose. Fentanyl is around 5x as deadly in terms of overdose deaths as heroin. Outside of opioid struggles, Cincinnati officials are now trying to slow down the deluge of meth into their state and city. Drug busting program funding has skyrocketed among Ohio and it’s neighboring states. Between 2015 and 2019, the amount of meth seized increased by 1,600% in Ohio. An expert out of Kentucky. Dr. Mina Kalfas put forward the idea that even though seizures and awareness of meth are going up, it will most likely not be fast enough and people with poor habits need to be treated for their addiction. This kind of proactive approach is popular in theory, especially among cities as stricken as Cincinnati, but the reactionary measure to stop the bleeding continue on.
