While detailed substance use data specific to Chesterfield is limited, as reports often combine information for the entire St. Louis County or the state of Missouri, the Chesterfield community is not immune to the challenges of drug addiction and alcoholism facing the nation.
A recent National Survey on Drug Use and Health found that approximately 904,000 Missouri residents had a substance use disorder. (1) According to the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services, there were 1,948 drug-related deaths in 2023 within the state of Missouri alone, with 73% of these deaths being opioid-related.

Even in thriving suburbs like Chesterfield, substance use disorders can impact individuals and families, often out of the public eye. This reality highlights the importance of maintaining awareness and ensuring access to support and treatment resources
