As the largest city between Tampa and Miami, Cape Coral struggles with substance misuse problems like many other Florida cities.
Cape Coral is the largest city in Lee County, where there were more than 31 drug-induced deaths for every 100,000 residents between 2016 and 2018.1 This rate was far higher than the drug-induced death rate in Florida (21.8) and the nation (18.1) during the same time period.1
In 2020, an estimated 6.4% of adults in Lee County, including Cape Coral, reported past-month illicit drug use, compared with only 2% of adults nationwide.1 Past-month marijuana use in Lee County was 14.3% compared with the nationwide rate of 8.5%.1 Past-year opioid use in Lee County was 16.7% compared with the nationwide rate of nearly 13%.1
When surveyed in 2020 about the impact of substance abuse on their livelihoods and well-being, more than 12% of Lee County residents reported that it negatively impacted their lives “a great deal.”1 When asked whether they thought substance abuse was a problem in their community, nearly 50% of Lee County residents admitted to feeling like it was a major problem, while 38.7% said it felt like a moderate problem.1
Alcohol, opioids, prescription drugs, methamphetamine, and cocaine are the substances perceived to cause the most problems in Cape Coral and Lee County, according to a 2020 survey of local residents.1 In the summer of 2021, the Lee County Sheriff’s Office announced it would start investing more time into restricting illegal sales of heroin, methamphetamine, and fentanyl.2
There are currently 21 substance abuse and mental health treatment facilities in Cape Coral or within 15 miles of the city.3 This makes up almost 2% of the 1,086 addiction treatment facilities currently operating in Florida.3 There are also 85 healthcare providers that prescribe buprenorphine, which is an opioid maintenance medication that reduces opioid cravings to help patients stay abstinent.3
12-step programs like Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) and Narcotics Anonymous (NA) are shown to help people stay engaged in their addiction and substance abuse treatment.4 According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse, 12-step support groups can be a great source of ongoing community support and are effective at encouraging people to stay on track with their recovery.4
