Substance Abuse On The Rise Amid Pandemic

Drug and alcohol abuse on the rise since the start of the pandemic. 

 

Natalie Cloe from Shelby County Community Service says drug and alcohol abuse is nothing new – but the pandemic has had a negative impact on those seeking help. 

Cloe says that more people who may not have been running into substance abuse issues before the pandemic have started to hit a wall. 

Cloe talked about how 13 percent of Americans reported abusing substances more since June of 2020
