Substance Abuse Trends and Statistics for the City of Charleston
In 2019, Charleston County had the second-highest number of residents diagnosed with substance abuse overdoses and disorders. In the state of South Carolina, the number of overdoses increased by more than 45% between 2019 and 2020—the fourth largest increase in the United States. During that same time period, the overdose rate in Charleston County doubled. The county is consistently in the top ten for overdoses in the state.
Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC) addiction researcher Dr. Kathleen Brady says that the state is greatly under-resourced when it comes to addressing the opioid crisis, particularly when compared with other states in the south and across the country. As part of a community-wide call to action, Dr. Rahul Gupta, Director of the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy, made a stop at MUSC in February of 2022.
