Worrisome Increase in Drug-Related Deaths Among Youth

2025 has been recorded as a bitter year for young people under 30, as the mortality rate due to drug use has alarmingly increased. With the arrival and spread of new substances, the conditions of the drug market have become more complex than ever before.

New Substances and a Complex Market

Synthetic opioids and crack are among the new substances that play an increasing role in this crisis. These substances are not only spreading rapidly, but their negative impacts on the health of young people are also clearly evident. The rise in deaths caused by the use of these substances serves as a warning for society and requires greater attention from authorities and families.

This situation has become particularly pronounced in urban communities and areas with limited access to healthcare services. Given these conditions, the need for serious planning for addiction prevention and treatment is increasingly felt.
