INFOGRAPHICS : Drug Addiction Statistics in Illinois

DESCRIPTION : In 2020, Illinois saw an alarming spike in opioid-related overdoses and deaths. According to the Illinois Department of Public Health, there were more than 2,900 opioid-related overdose deaths across the state in 2020 alone. This represents a 33% increase when compared to 2019 figures. In addition, synthetic opioid deaths have increased by 80% since 2013. Though opioid addiction affects people from all backgrounds, research shows that it disproportionately impacts communities of color and males. From 2019 to 2020, black and Hispanic populations accounted for five times the number of hospital visits related to opioids vs white or non-hispanic populations. In addition to that, men made up 72.4% of all opioid overdose ER visits.
