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%
