Heroin use rose to extreme heights as prescriptions became more difficult to obtain. Around 2015, the introduction of Fentanyl into the Opioid market reinvigorated the epidemic and drastically increased the overdose rate in Philadelphia. Alongside opioids, cocaine use between 2010 and 2019 in Philadelphia caused significant damage, nearly 650 deaths over that time. As we head into the 2020s, city officials are worried about the growing issues with Meth in and around the city. As more programs are funded to fight Opioid addiction, Meth trafficking and overdose numbers have begun to grow.
