Commonly Abused Drugs in Indiana

The Office of National Drug Control Policy’s 2008 report indicated that prescription drugs are the second most commonly abused substance following marijuana.

A new 2011 study conducted by Indiana Prevention Resource Center at IU Bloomington found that alcohol abuse among teens was declining but that marijuana and smokeless cigarette use was on the increase.

This shift seems to be a result of a false perception that marijuana use is harmless. This perception is closely aligned with the move to legalize its use for medical purposes.

Marijuana
Marijuana was most commonly cited as the primary drug of choice for those entering drug treatment facilities in Indiana. In 2010, there were 5,121 people admitted for treatment of marijuana addiction. Marijuana was ranked first in the state for the most available and most abused substance in 2010.

Heroin
Heroin use has been steadily increasing for the past decade. In 2010, 1,276 people went to drug rehab for heroin addiction. The number of people using heroin in certain cities in the state has increased 300% in the last three years according to a 2011 news report.

Cocaine
Among those who were admitted for cocaine dependence, the largest demographic was between ages 41-45 years of age, with a fairly equal split between men and women using cocaine.

Prescription Drugs
There were 2,183 individuals who entered treatment for opiates other than heroin, the majority or 50.7% of prescription drug admissions were women. Prescription drug abuse is on the rise. In 2007, a report by SAMHSA illustrated that the largest group of abusers for nonmedical use of pain relievers was among the 18-25 year olds followed by 26-30 year olds. Use of OxyContin rose from 29 million dosages in 2002 to 54 million in 2007.
