Peterborough

Statistics on drug and alcohol use with Peterborough are scarce and difficult to locate. However, there are numerous governmental and local governmental reports that help to identify trends. 

For the last set of published figures (2019-2020) there were a total of 884 new  adult patients presenting to local statutory drug and alcohol services seeking treatment for drug and alcohol dependency.  Out of this cohort, 22%, 192 adults, had children living with them. 349 (349%) did not. 

Drug death rates, for the last reporting period of 2021 reveal that there was an increase in drug relate deaths within Peterborough. Indeed, the figure doubled from 9 to 18. 

Aug 2021 Office for National Statistics figures show there were 18 drug-related deaths recorded in Peterborough in 2020 – up from nine the year before. However, this is countered by the statistic that 25.8% of adults in Peterborough, in 2022, completed treatment for opioid addiction when the average for England was 15.2%
