Addiction and High Risk Substance Use in Harlow, Essex

Like other areas of the UK, Essex has had a significant increase in drug and alcohol consumption. Crack-cocaine, heroin, and benzodiazepine use is particularly high in the borough. Recent data is unavailable, but in 2013, before the drug epidemic, there were 2049 adult men and women being treated for a crack or opiate addiction in Essex. Of these, 252 were from Harlow. The total number of people being treated for any substance addiction was 2820 with 320 being from Harlow. In terms of alcohol dependence, there were 1393 adults being treated in Essex and 472 of them were from Harlow.

As drug use continues throughout Essex, there are concerns about how to address the growing problem. Only recently, in July 2019, 5 people lost their lives to a Class A drug, or mixture of drugs, within a 36 hour period. Although funding to increase government services has been given, there are budget cuts in other areas that do affect resources for addiction treatment.
