Common Drug Addictions Treated in Oregon

Similar to national trends, alcohol is the most common substance of abuse in Oregon. Alcohol alone accounts for more than one-fifth of treatment admissions every year. When it’s used in combination with other drugs, alcohol is involved in more than one-third of treatment admissions. Heroin treatment admissions spiked in 2013 at 6,045 but declined in 2014, the most recent year for which data is available. The total number of amphetamine admissions also declined from ’13 to ’14.

Drug Abuse Trends in Oregon

Abuse of amphetamines, such as methamphetamine and crystal meth, is widespread in Oregon. The state passed laws to prevent meth manufacturers from obtaining pseudoephedrine — a key ingredient in methamphetamine — without a doctor’s prescription, reducing the number of meth labs. However, drug trafficking organizations continue to import the drug into the state. Heroin trafficking and abuse has also been increasing in Oregon and Idaho. Law enforcement reported increases in the amount of heroin confiscated and overdoses involving heroin in 2015. Crack and cocaine seizures and overdoses have been declining, and club drugs such as ecstasy, DMT, synthetic marijuana and bath salts tend to be problems only near college campuses.

Prescription Drug Abuse

Oregon has been one of the states most affected by prescription drug abuse since 1999. In 2013, a quarter of Oregon residents received a prescription for an opioid pain reliever. The same year, the Beaver State ranked second in rates of prescription drug abuse nationally. The state identified doctors’ overprescription of opioids as a large part of the problem. Doctors in Oregon prescribed opioids at almost twice the rate of states with the lowest prescription rates, writing scripts for 11.6 kilograms of morphine-equivalent medications per 100,000 people.

According to the 2015 Oregon Healthy Teens Survey, teen consumption of marijuana, cigarettes and alcohol — including binge drinking — declined slightly from 2013. However, rates of prescription drug abuse remained about the same.
