Death due to an opioid overdose is over three times more likely today in Arizona than it was in 2011, according to KFF. Drug use as a whole increased nationwide, and Tucson is no exception. Unfortunately, those at highest risk of developing substance abuse habits — people with untreated mental health challenges — struggle to access treatment. Call a national or Tucson addiction hotline to get help connecting you with addiction treatment at home or in a residential program.
