Montana gets its name from Spanish and Latin words meaning “mountain” or “mountainous country.” In total, there are about seventy-seven named mountain ranges in the western part of the state. Between the mountains are rich river valleys. The eastern region is made up of prairies and badlands. Millions of tourists visit the state each year to enjoy such sights as the Glacier National Park, Yellowstone National Park, and the Little Bighorn Battlefield Monument. Among all this natural beauty, it’s difficult to imagine the staggering drug-related problems that abound in this area. For one example, the number of arrests for illegal drugs has increased 547% since 2010. Also hard to imagine is the fact that 80% of the drug-related arrests in 2016 involved methamphetamine. Let’s take a look at the statistics for other drug-related problems in the state.

This might explain why Montana’s prisons and treatment facilities are at or near capacity.

Local Prevention and Awareness Programs
Governor Steve Bullock announced a new law passed in 2017 that will give first responders access to Naloxone, the life-saving opiate overdose reversal drug. Governor Bullock had this to say about the new bill:“Nationwide and in Montana, too many of our fellow friends, neighbors, and family members have been personally affected by this invisible epidemic and too many lives have sadly ended abruptly,” said Governor Bullock. “While we may not have all the solutions, we do know that by working together we can make significant progress. This is one piece to the puzzle that will give folks a second chance at life.”Other efforts to combat the drug problems in Montana are underway by many private and public organizations.
