A new report finds drug, alcohol and suicide deaths are sky rocketing for millennials.

According to the latest federal data from the Non-Profit Group, Trust for America's Health and Well Being, drug-related deaths among people 18 to 34 soared 108 percent between 2007 and 2017, while alcohol deaths were up 69 percent and suicides increased 35 percent.

Georgia is no exception, thanks especially to the opioid epidemic.

Attorney General Chris Carr tells WSB Radio that in April the state saw a bit of a jump in emergency room visits due to overdoses, especially for millennial women.

"We did see an up tick though in younger folks, particularly females between 25 and 34 years of age," Carr says.

According to Carr, "From 1999 to 2017, nearly 8,000 people died, from a drug overdose. And that 8,000 individuals is larger than the populations of 16 individual counties in the state of Georgia."

And he said thousands more are living with addictions. "Today, nearly 180,000 Georgians are living with opioid use disorder, that's larger than the population of Macon," Carr explains, adding, “So when you're talking about a crisis, this truly is a crisis in the state of Georgia.”
