Drug Use and Overdose in Maricopa County

Nationally, drug overdose deaths have fallen for three straight years. The county-level picture around Gilbert is worth knowing, because Arizona has run against that national trend recently.

The county figure is for Maricopa County as a whole. Gilbert’s own city-level counts are not published separately, so the county level is used here.

Treatment Options In and Near Gilbert

NA works well alongside professional treatment, and many people use both. Care is usually described in levels, from medically supervised detox through residential and outpatient programs, so the right starting point depends on your situation.

Gilbert and the wider East Valley have a large number of providers, including opioid treatment programs, detox facilities, and outpatient clinics. For opioid use disorder, medications such as methadone, buprenorphine, and naltrexone are the evidence-based standard of care.

They reduce cravings and lower the risk of overdose, and they are fully compatible with attending NA. To find nearby options, search FindTreatment.gov by ZIP code, or call the free, confidential SAMHSA National Helpline at 1-800-662-4357, available 24 hours a day in English and Spanish.

Our guide to addiction treatment, including detox, therapy, and medication, explains the options.

Naloxone and Harm Reduction

Naloxone, often sold as Narcan, can reverse an opioid overdose within minutes and is safe to keep on hand. In Arizona, you do not need a prescription. A statewide standing order lets any pharmacist dispense it, and it is also sold over the counter.

You can get it free through participating pharmacies listed by Stop Overdose Deaths Arizona, by mail from Sonoran Prevention Works, or in person from Shot in the Dark in Maricopa County.

Arizona’s Good Samaritan Law (A.R.S. § 13-3423) protects anyone who calls for help in good faith during an overdose. Our overdose prevention guide covers how to recognize and respond to one.
