Stockport, Greater Manchester
Located just outside the city of Manchester, Stockport is considered to be one of the most polarised boroughs in all of England, in terms of deprivation. As a result, this is reflected in social, economic, mental, and health related inequality issues. Over the last few decades, the local government has tried to improve these areas; thereby, resulting in improving life expectancy rate (which was one of the lowest in the country). Even so, there remains a significant gap between parts of the borough that see’s residents living an affluent lifestyle and those who are unable to do so. Drug and alcohol use and dependency is thought to play a large role in these problems. Whether the substances are causing the problems, or vice versa, is unknown. However, tackling these issues head on is something the government is trying to do.
Drug and Alcohol Use in Stockport, Greater Manchester
Drug and alcohol use in Stockport, Greater Manchester has been a major concern for several years. In Stockport, an estimated 25 % of adults consume alcohol at unhealthy levels; and alcohol related hospital admissions have risen to 7,200 people per year (2015/16). The borough is home to 7,000-9,000 men and women who are addicted to drugs. Of these, 1,250 are thought to be opiate and/or crack users and 500 inject the drug. Cannabis is the most commonly used substance followed by opiates, crack-cocaine, benzodiazepines, and OTC/prescription medications. Cocaine and ecstasy is also widely used, especially amongst the young or working professional crowd. Over the last two years, the use in legal highs (now illegal), also known as Spice, has decreased.
Sadly, in Stockport and Manchester as a whole, there have been more drug related deaths than ever before. According to the most recent date, the city’s death rate from the misuse of drugs has doubled in a decade and is twice as high as the national average. In 2014-2016, there were at least 113 deaths from drugs. These deaths have not been broken down into the type of drug used, but are likely to involve heroin, opiates, crack, cocaine, and prescription medications. On average 9.3 people per 100,000 will lose their life to drugs in Manchester.
At the same time, the number of people in need of alcohol and drug rehab in Manchester has increased while referrals have plummeted. Since the government has cut funding for detoxification and rehab programmes, referral rates are down by 25 %. One of the well known organisations that help people with an addiction says they have reviewed data that suggests the councils are not admitting as many people for detoxification and rehabilitation as they had done five or so years ago. They also believe this reduction in treatment services can be correlated with the increase in drug related deaths.
