Information from the National Drug Treatment Monitoring Service indicate that , for the period 2019-2020, 1,277 adults sought help from local drug and alcohol services for the first time. Of this cohort, 25% (321) were parents with children living with them and 34% (432) were also parents but without children living at their address with the remaining 41% not having children or contact with children. 

​

Figures and statistics for Warwickshire are very hard to come by and historical. However, they can give an indication of the prevalence at the time they were compiled. For example, in 2016 it was estimated that 8.4% of the then adult population in Warwickshire had taken an illegal drug in a 12 month period: A total of 26,000 adults. This was a .02% reduction on the year before. 

Local figures show that there are 653 adults, in the county, who are in active addiction to opioids/crack cocaine with 214 being in treatment. Of these figures, 481 are men.  In relation to alcohol 1,128 adults in the county drink to levels where they experience dependency/addiction with only 307 being in treatment with local community drug and alcohol services. 

​

However, the police and crime commissioner  estimates that in Warwickshire there are about 107,000 adults drinking above low risk levels around, nearly 17,000 drinking at harmful levels and 26,000 who are alcohol dependent. In 2020 local government reports indicated that the  rate for alcohol-related harm hospital admissions were lower than the average for England (576 per 100,000 adults) . This represents 376 admissions per year.
