Treating the whole person—
and the whole family
Chemical dependency affects the
entire family, so Glenbeigh does not
leave loved ones without help during
the treatment process. “Families
need support, care and attention
every bit as much as the suffering
alcoholic or addict,” Weston-Hall
said. “Chemical dependency is a
disease that affects entire families,
meaning all members of the
family will have experienced hurt,
disappointment and disruption in
their lives.”
Glenbeigh’s Family Program
The rate for unintentional
drug overdose deaths
in Northeast Ohio (2008 to 2013)
is greatest in Trumbull (21.8
per 100,000), Mahoning (19.7 per
100,000) and Ashtabula (16.8 per
100,000) counties. The state average
is 15.0 per 100,000.
Unintentional drug
overdose continues to be the
leading cause of injury-related
death in Ohio, ahead of motor
vehicle traffic crashes, suicide and
falls. This trend began in 2007 and
has continued through 2013.
Unintentional drug overdoses
caused 2,110 deaths to Ohio
residents in 2013 data. This is the
highest number of deaths on record
for drug overdose and surpasses the
previous highest number (1,914) in
2012 by 10.2 percent .

An overview
of Ohio’s drug
epidemic
Multiple drug use is the
largest contributor to the
epidemic. In 2012, there was an average
of 67 doses of opioids dispensed for
every Ohio resident.
Heroin-related deaths
continued to increase in 2013,
surpassing prescription opiates
among unintentional overdose
deaths. Prescription opiates remain
a prominent contributor
to many of the unintentional drug
overdoses. Although heroin accounts
for the majority of overdose deaths,
prescription opiates remain a significant
contributor to the overdose problem.
