In June of 2019, the Commonwealth Fund’s Scorecard on State Health System Performance released a 2019 report that looked at “deaths of despair”, or deaths caused by drug overdoses, alcohol, and suicide. The report found from 2005 to 2017, the death rate in Arizona caused by drug overdoses increased 57 percent. And when looking at deaths caused by alcohol for that same time period, the rate had increased 43 percent. In other words, 22.2 out of 100,000 Arizona residents died from a drug overdose and 16.2 out of 100,000 Arizona residents died from an alcohol overdose in 2017. For families, that meant losing a loved one too soon, struggling with their loved one’s outstanding financial debts and trying to pick up the pieces and returning to a life of normalcy without a key family member or friend.
The Arizona Department of Health Services tracks state-wide opioid data in real-time to see how opioid addiction, specifically, has affected the state’s communities. From June 15, 2017, to December 5, 2019, there have been 30,178 suspected opioid overdoses and 1,764 cases of neonatal abstinence syndrome.
