Alcohol Use in Middlesbrough

Alcohol can be debilitating and wreak havoc on an individual’s, and their family’s life. According to recent government data, Middlesbrough is the worst area in the country for alcohol related hospital admissions. Every 44 minutes, doctors admit a person with an alcohol related primary or secondary condition. In 2012, the latest statistics available, 4,320 people were admitted.

Chief executive of Alcohol Concern, Eric Appleby, explains that over half of the drinkers in Middlesbrough drink at risky levels. It goes beyond binge drinking and young people on a night out. Rather, many of these people are working professionals or older adults who drink more than the recommended units of alcohol, in the form of beer and wine, everyday.

In 2015, 75 Middlesbrough resident’s lost their life to alcohol and alcohol-related medical conditions; this equates to one person every 5 days. As the economy struggles, owners of pubs are reporting an increase in traffic. People who were once busy working are now spending more time in pubs drinking.

Drug Abuse and Addiction in Middlesbrough

Drug misuse in Middlesbrough is soaring. According to the Joint Strategic Needs Assessment for Middlesbrough, there are an estimated 21 opiate and/or crack-cocaine users for every 1,000 people. The national average is 10 out of 1,000. Deaths attributed to drug abuse are also higher than any other area in North East England. In 2013 to 2015, 39 people are known to have died from drugs. Between 2016 and 2017, 191 people died. Men account for three quarters of the deaths and both men and women tend to be between 30 and 49 years of age. One third of the deaths resulted from a heroin, morphine, or opiate related overdose, followed by 12 % by methadone, 10 % by benzodiazepines, and the remaining 48 % from synthetics, prescription medications, crack-cocaine, or poly-drug use.

Sadly, support services are overan and have a low percentage of clients who successfully complete their programmes . Budget cuts have also contributed to the higher than average failure rate, in addition to high costs of private rehab treatment and lengthy waiting periods for public programmes  funded by the NHS.
