Substance abuse statistics for Astoria, NY
Astoria, NY: Drug abuse trends
The COVID-19 pandemic significantly affected Astoria, Queens. In 2019, there were 268 overdose deaths. This number increased by 45.5 percent in 2020 when 391 people died due to drug overdose. Experts blame the pandemic, which fueled the drug epidemic throughout the country and struck Queens hard. Some believe the negative mental health impacts that the pandemic had on people led to an increase in people resorting to drugs as a coping mechanism. Socialization was limited, treatment services were harder to access, job loss was rampant, and anxiety and depression grew.
Seventy-one percent of all drug overdoses happening in Queens are caused by fentanyl or its derivatives. These numbers are alarming, and the number of people dying due to overdoses is five times higher than homicides.
