KOKOMO, INDIANA, UNITED STATES, October 17, 2023 /EINPresswire.com/ -- First City Mental Health Center introduces a full suite of mental health and addiction treatment services in the wake of increased drug use and overdose deaths; a record the “Hoosier State” has ever experienced. The state’s death toll from drug overdoses is now around 3,000 per year and not slowing down any time soon. The center, located at 507 North Armstrong Street, Kokomo, Indiana 46901, offers inpatient and outpatient mental health and drug and alcohol treatment for co-occurring disorders. The program has plans to expand given the climate of the industry as more demand for treatment increases.

According to the CDC, the number of drug overdose deaths in the US rose from 48,126 in January 2015 to 106,840 in January 2022. In Indiana, as of 2021 Q3, the opioid dispensation rate was 179.4 per 1,000 population. In 2021, about 16.1% of total treatment admissions had reported prescription opioid use as a primary, secondary or tertiary substance, where 7% of episodes had reported prescription opioid as primary substance.
