Louisiana Addiction Hotlines

America has a severe addiction problem, and Louisiana is no exception. Substance abuse is among the top health concerns in the state. This year, 9.73% of residents reported illicit drug use sometime during the last month, per the CDC. A total of 2,463 residents died from overdoses in 2021 alone. Data is not yet available for last year.
