Drug Trends in Indiana

In the most recent National Survey on Drug Use and Health, which provides national and state level information about drug, alcohol, tobacco, illicit drugs, and mental health in America, the rate of illicit drug use in Indiana exceed the national average.

The number of adult Americans who reported using illicit drugs in the previous month was 8.02 percent of the population, while the rate of use among Indiana residents was 8.79 percent. When marijuana was removed from the question, the number of adult Americans using an illicit drug in the past month was 3.58 percent, while the rate of illicit drug (other than marijuana) use among Indiana residents was 4.2 percent. This points to a growing problem with drug use in the state.

Likewise, the rate of drug-related deaths in Indiana also exceeds the national average. In 2007, 827 people in Indiana died as a direct consequence of drug use, less than the number who dies in auto accidents and more than the number who died from firearms. The national rate for drug-induced deaths is 12.7 deaths per 100,000 people. In Indiana, it is only slightly higher, 13 deaths per 100,000 people.

Alcohol

Much like the rest of the United States, alcohol is the most commonly used drug in Indiana. However, rates of heavy drinking are substantially lower in Indiana (5.2 percent) than in the US in general (6.2 percent).

When asked, people 51.6 percent of Indiana residents age 12 and older reported drinking in the past month, and 22.3 percent engaged in binge drinking during that period. In addition, rates of alcohol in Indiana remain highest among young adults between 18 and 25. Therefore it should be no surprise that 60.4 percent of Indiana college students had used alcohol in the previous month.

This certainly has had an impact on health in the state. The yearly rate of alcohol dependence and abuse in Indiana was 7 percent. And, unsurprisingly, the group with the highest rate (14.5 percent) were 18-25 year olds. Because of the popularity of alcohol, the largest numbers of admissions to treatment were alcohol related. Over one-third (40.1 percent) of Indiana residents received alcohol treatment.

However, rates of alcohol dependence differed among treatment population groups:

39.2 percent of whites
43.2 percent of blacks
46.7 percent of other races
