The Addiction Issues in Iowa
Iowa is located in the Midwestern United States. A majority of the land mass in the state consists of rolling hills, natural lakes, and dense forests. About 60 percent of the land is utilized for agriculture. Although Iowa is listed as one of the safest places to live, it is also home to a dangerous underworld of drug-related crime and activity.
Methamphetamine is the principal drug of concern in the state. The drug is produced locally and also smuggled in from Mexico and the Southeast U.S. Three major interstate highways pass through Iowa, giving drug traffickers plenty of options for getting their cocaine to the eastern states via Interstate 80. North-south drug trafficking takes place on Interstates 29 and 35.
Despite all the drug activity going on in the state, Iowa ranks 2nd lowest in the nation for the rate of illicit drug abuse. It also ranked at 13th lowest for prescription drug abuse.
Addiction Statistics in Iowa
The drug abuse statistics in Iowa reveal just how overwhelming the situation is in this state. For instance:
- About 4.1% of juveniles entering treatment had been using meth.
- 12% of all treatment admissions were for meth-related issues.
- A shocking 7,196 meth abusers entered treatment in 2014.
- In Cedar Rapids alone, 44 people died from heroin overdoses in the first half of 2015.

- More than 1,555 ER visits in Iowa are attributed to opioids.
- The Rx opioid abuse rate in the state is 3.65% (13th lowest rate in the nation).
- Underage binge drinking and alcohol abuse exceed the national average.
- In Iowa, more than 60% of people aged 18 to 25 admitted using alcohol in the past month.
- About 45% of people between 18 and 25 years of age admitted binge drinking in the past month.
- More than 21% of treatment admissions for alcohol abuse were juveniles.

As we can see by the above facts, Iowa has its share of drug-related problems. The good news is that the state has a comprehensive plan for combating these problems. These strategies, combined with the efforts of local organizations will have an impact and hopefully, save lives.
Local Prevention and Education Programs
The Iowa Office of Drug Control Policy is just one of the many campaigns underway to help spread education and awareness about the dangers of drugs and alcohol. Other organizations in the state are also involved in the effort. Some of those agencies are as follows:
- C.F.R.
- M.A.D.D.
- Iowa Department of Education
- Helping Services for Youth and Families
- ADDSIOWA
- Iowa Department of Public Health
This is only a partial listing of the many local prevention and education programs in Iowa. Their goal is to keep kids from ever starting drugs or alcohol. Focusing on prevention in the early years will improve the chances of a healthy and productive future for the young people.
