What are the Odds in Washoe County, Nevada?

With all of the nightlife in and around Washoe county and Reno being a 24 hour a day city, drug abuse, alcohol abuse and suicide in Reno is on the rise.

There are many statistics that people within the State of Nevada should know:

One Statistic Stands Out.

There are approximately 19,000 high school students in Washoe County; a very startling statistic is 13.6% of these students reported they had attempted suicide in the past 12 months. In all probability each of those 2600 students were using drugs or alcohol at the time of a suicide attempt. In 2005 the suicide attempt number was high at 10% but still a 36% increase in this number should make us stop and look at what might be behind it.

Vicodin is used by 10% of high school seniors.

Prescription drugs are used by 1 in 5 students none medically (for fun).

Binge drinking: 30% of the students do it, and 16% of the parents don't care if their kids are at a party where alcohol is served

Marijuana Use: 20% of students has used in it in the past month and 8% of the parents don't care if their kids use it.

Reno's numbers help to make up these outrageous national numbers:

19% of 12 to 17 year old students don't see any risk in using heroin once or twice a week.

21% of 12 to 17 year old students don't see any threat from using cocaine once or twice a week.

25% of the students think L.S.D. poses little or no risk once or twice a week.

Prescription Drug Addiction

The statistics for adults are not any better; far more people over the age of 22 drink and take drugs. There aren't any numbers available for perceived risks for prescription drugs (painkillers, stimulants and depressants) but the majority of people and students think prescription drugs are safe because they are prescribed by a doctor. Even if it wasn't your doctor and even if it's not your prescription they think they are safer than street drugs.

Prescription drug abuse is prevalent in one in five households, prescription stimulants are used by 30% of college students and young people in the work force.

Anti depressants are used non medically by millions of people nationwide.

Alcohol abuse is a great danger for young and old alike. Underage drinking turns into lifetime alcohol abuse 40% of the time.

In other parts of the country Oxycontin addicts are transitioning to heroin because of cost and availability.
