		<description><![CDATA[A CECIL TIMES Special Report NEWS ANALYSIS It almost seems like ancient history in the long battle over opioid drug abuse in Cecil County to see newly disclosed federal statistics on the flood of painkiller pills from 2006-2012, when more than 36 million pills were dispensed in the county—or enough to supply 51 pills to each and every resident per year. But new data showing the extent of the avalanche of drugs dumped locally is still shocking, even as the drug crisis has moved to a new battleground, waged on needle-strewn streets and using anti-overdose nasal sprays aimed at saving the lives of those now addicted to heroin and fentanyl. The Washington Post waged a long freedom of information court battle to obtain records from a Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) database, covering all opioid pills dispensed between 2006 and 2012, including the names of the manufacturers, distributors, and pharmacies that delivered the opioid pills, such as oxycodone and its brand-name version, OxyContin A Post team created its own searchable database, broken down by states and counties, from the DEA data that was released last week.

		<description><![CDATA[A Cecil Times Special Report Cecil County’s widespread drug abuse problems&#8211; linked to crime, child abuse, suicide and joblessness—will need a broad-based solution to address a culture of drug abuse that often spans generations of families, according to a new consultant’s study. And the problem has reached crisis proportions, with the county having the highest rate of fatal drug overdoses in the state. “While Cecil County is an area of stark contrasts in income, limited local employment and a cycle of unemployment and poverty among young people are seen as leading to hopelessness and substance abuse in Cecil County,” the report observed. And that cycle perpetuates itself, hampering local economic development efforts to bring new jobs to the area, because potential employers believe they cannot find an adequately trained, drug-free workforce in Cecil County. But even for those who want to get “clean,” living in Cecil County puts many obstacles in their path, the study found. There is no residential detox or treatment center in the county; existing counseling and out-patient treatment services are fragmented; and there is a lack of appropriate services for people who have “dual diagnoses” of mental health and drug abuse problems.
