Total Numbers in Treatment (2017-2021)
Number in Treatment by Broad Substance Category
In all years, the number of individuals in treatment was higher for alcohol use than for benzodiazepines, cannabis, cocaine, and heroin combined.
The number of people intreatment for alcohol use stayed mostly stable throughout the period examined, with a small peak in 2019. The number of people in treatment for drug use also stayed mostly stable, but with small decreases in volume in 2018 and 2020.
Number in Treatment by Drug
From 2017-2020, cannabis was the most common drug for which individuals sought treatment; in 2021, cocaine overtook cannabis as the most frequent drug for which individuals sought treatment after rising sharply since 2017.
The number of individuals in treatment for heroin use decreased between 2017 and 2020 before rising again in 2021 to levels higher than what was observed in 2019. The number of individuals in treatment for benzodiazepine use rose between 2018 and 2020, but decreased in 2021 to levels below what was observed in 2019.
Number in Alcohol Treatment by Year and County
The number of people in treatment was substantially higher in Donegal than the other border counties. Louth had the second highest number of indviduals in treatment for alcohol use, with all other border counties had similar patient volumes.
Number in Drug Treatment by Year and County
Donegal and Louth had the highest number of individuals in treatment for drug use during the period among border counties, followed by Cavan. In Donegal, the number of individuals in drug treatment rose sharply in 2019 before falling in 2020 and 2021. In Louth, the number of individuals in drug treatment was lower in 2019 and 2020 than in previous years, before rising sharply in 2021.
The number of individuals in drug treatment in Cavan stayed mostly stable throughout the period, though it was slightly lower in 2018 and 2020. The number of individuals in drug treatment was similar for Leitrim and Monaghan and stayed mostly stable throughout the examined period.
Number in Alcohol Treatment by Year and Age Group
Individuals aged 45-64 years were the most frequently represented in the data throughout the included period, with patient volumes being approximately three times higher than what was observed for patients 18-25 years. Patients 35-44 years and 25-34 years had the second and third highest patient volumes for people in treatment for alcohol use. Individuals aged 18-25 years and 65+ years had the lowest patient volumes.
Overall, these age groups different dramatically from what was observed throughout the period among individuals seeking treatment for drug use.
Number in Drug Treatment by Year and Age Group
For most of the period included, individuals 25-34 and 18-24 had the highest patient volumes for drug treatment services. However, volumes among 25-44 year olds rose sharply in 2021 and overtook 18-24 year olds. Volumes among individuals 25-34 years increased steadily over the included period, with 221 individuals in treatment for drug use in 2021.
Among patients 18-24 years, volumes were lower in 2020 and 2021 than what was observed in previous included years. Conversely, volumes increased among patients aged 25-44 years from 2018.
As seen among individuals in treatment for alcohol use, volumes among patients 65+ years were lowest of any age group with no patients in treatment for drug use during the included period. Otherwise, age stratification of volumes differed dramatically from what was observed among individuals in treatment for alcohol use.
Men in Treatment (2017-2021)
Men in Treatment by Broad Substance Category
Among men in substance use treatment, a higher number of individuals received treatment for alcohol use than for drug use. Patient volumes for both drug and alcohol treatment were relatively stable throughout the included period.
Men in Treatment by Drug
Although cannabis and heroin were the most frequent drugs for which men were receiving treatment in 2017, the number of individuals receiving cocaine treatment more than doubled over the period, ending as the most frequent substance for which individuals received treatment. Conversely, the number of men receiving treatment for heroin dropped more than 50% between 2017 and 2020, before rising again in 2021.
The number of men receiving treatment for cannabis use remained fairly stable over the period, with the exception of a sharp drop in 2020. The number of men receiving treatment for benzodiazepine use was fairly stable from 2017-2019, before rising in 2020 and then falling 2021 to levels below what was observed in 2017-2019.
Men in Alcohol Treatment by Year and County
Donegal had the highest number of men in treatment for alcohol use among border counties. From 2017-2019, Donegal had approximately three times as many men in treatment for alcohol use as Louth, the county with the second highest number of patients. The number of men in treatment for alcohol use increased in 2021 for all border counties.
In Louth, the number of men in treatment for alcohol use was more than twice as high in 2019 as what was observed in each of the preceding two years. In Monaghan, the number of men in treatment for alcohol use decreased in 2018, 2019, and 2020 from what was observed in 2017; it then rose again sharply and more than doubled in 2021 from what was observed the previous two years.
Men in Drug Treatment by Year and County
As observed in the volumes of men in treatment for alcohol use, Donegal and Louth had the highest number of men in treatment for drug use among border counties.
Although the number of men in treatment for drug use rose in Donegal in 2019, it declined in 2020 and 2021. In all other counties, the number of men in treatment for drug use was higher in 2021 than was observed in 2020. In Monaghan, this rise was particularly stark, with the number of men in treatment for drug use was more than double what was observed in each of the preceding two years.
Men in Alcohol Treatment by Year and Age Group
As observed among all people in treatment for alcohol use, the 45-64 and 35-44 age groups had the highest number of men in treeatment for alcohol use during the included period. In addition to the 2020 decrease, the 35-44 age group also had a 30% drop in the number of men in treatment in 2018.
The number of men in treatment for alcohol use decreased in 2020 for all age groups except among those 65+. In 2021, the number of men in treatment for alcohol use was higher than what was observed in 2020 across all age groups.
Among men in the 25-34 and 18-24 age groups, the number of men in treatment for alcohol use was relatively stable throughout the included period. Among men in the 65+ age group, the number in treatment for alcohol use increased from 2019-2021.
Men in Drug Treatment by Year and Age Group
In contrast to the pattern observed among men in treatment for alcohol use, the age groups with the highest number of men in treatment for drug use were the 25-34 and 18-24 age groups. The exception to this was in 2021, when the 35-44 age group overtook the 18-24 age group (88 vs 92). The number of men in treatment for drug use increased over the included period for both the 25-34 and 35-44 age groups, while the number of men in drug treatment decreased in 2020 and 2021 among men in the 18-24 age group.
The number of men in treatment for drug use was higher in 2021 than in 2020 for all age groups except among men 65 and older, among whom no men were in treatment for drug use during the included period. Among men in the 45-64 age group, the number in treatment for drug use almost doubled in 2019 over what was observed in the previous two years; although it dropped in 2020, it returned to the same high in 2021.
Women in Treatment (2017-2021)
Women in Treatment by Broad Substance Category
Across the icluded period, more than three times as many women were in treatment for alcohol use as for drug use in border counties. Volumes of women in treatment for both drug and alcohol use declined in 2020 but rose again in 2021 to levels higher than what had been observed in previous years.
Women in Treatment by Drug
Although cannabis remained the most frequest substance for which women received drug treatment, the volume of patients declined throughout the included period. The number of women receiving treatment for heroin, cocaine, and benzodiazepines declined sharply in 2018 before rising in 2019 and 2021. Although volumes declined for all three substanced in 2020, they did not return to the low observed in 2018.
Heroin was the second most common substance for which women received treatment in 2017 and 2018, but volumes declined more sharply and increased more gradually for it than cocaine and benzodiazepines. The number of women in treatment for cocaine increased more sharply from 2019-2021 than what was observed for benzodiazepines.
Women in Alcohol Treatment by Year and County
Donegal had the highest number of women in treatment for alcohol use among border counties, with approximately four times as many women in treatment as Louth, the county with the next highest patient volumes. All other border counties had similar volumes of women in treatment for alcohol use.
Although the number of women in treatment stayed relatively stable across counties during the included period, the number of women in treatment for alcohol use in Cavan decreased sharply in 2020 and then did not recover to previously observed volumes in 2021. No other counties experienced a meaningful decrease in volumes in 2020.
Women in Drug Treatment by Year and County
Louth and Donegal had the highest volumes of women in treatment for drug use throughout the period. While Donegal overtook the volumes in Louth in 2019 and 2020, the number of women in treatment for drug use in Louth rose sharply again in 2021.
Cavan had the third highest number of women in treatment for drug use throughout the included period. Volumes in Leitrim and Monaghan were similar throughout the included period.
Women in Alcohol Treatment by Year and Age Group
Women aged 45-64 years had the highest patient volumes for alcohol use treatment throughout the included period. Volumes decreased in the order of patient age, with the exception of women aged 65 and older, among whom the lowest volumes were observed.
Decreased were observed for almost all age groups in 2020 but volumes otherwise remained fairly stable for almost all age groups. The exception to this was among women 65 and older, among whom volumes increased from 2019-2021.
Women in Drug Treatment by Year and Age Group
The highest volume of women in treatment for drug use was observed in the 25-34 age group, which also experienced a steady increase thoughout the included period. The second highest volumes for all years except 2021 was observed in the 18-24 age group after a sharp decline in 2020. Volumes in the 35-44 age group slightly overtook women 18-24 in 2021 after increasing since 2018.
The lowest volumes were observed among women in the 45-64 age group and the 65+ age group. No women were in treatment for alcohol use in the 65+ age group.

Annual Alcohol Use Tables (2017-2021)
2017
In 2017, the county of the 889 individuals seeking treatment for 2017, Donegal had the highest rate with 499 individuals seeking treatment for alcohol. Leitrim has the lowest number of people entering treatment at 50. For males the age range with the most entering treatment was 35-44 and 45-64, their totals equating to 159 and 213 respectively.
While the number of women entering treatment was lower than the male counterparts, the age ranges of 35-44 and 45-64 being the most prevalent with 100 and 142 women respectively entering treatment. It is also important to note that Donegal was the only county that reported women aged between 18-24 and 65+ to enter treatment in 2017.
2018
In 2018, the numbers of people entering treatment for alcohol reduced slightly to 815 individuals. Donegal continues to be the county with the highest number of individuals entering treatment at 471, Leitrim continues to be the county with the lowest number of those entering treatment at 56, but it is worth noting this is increased from 50 of the previous year.
The age range of males 45-64 years continues to be the highest group entering treatment (n=210), with female comparison of this group accounting for 133.
2019
In 2019, figures of those entering treatment increased to a total of 915. Of these, 512 were from Donegal. While Leitrim’s figures nearly doubled on the previous year from 56 to 108, Monaghan was the county with the lowest numbers entering treatment at 50.
The age range of 45-64 continues to be the highest of those entering treatment with males (n=226) and females (n=136). As with previous years, it is worth noting that Donegal had the highest number of those in the age range of 65+ entering treatment (n=33).
2020
In 2020, the total number of individuals entering treatment reduced to (n=768). While Donegal’s numbers decreased to n=437, it was still the county with the highest number of individuals access treatment for alcohol. Monaghan and Cavan were the county with the lowest entering treatment (n=67) for both.
The age range with the highest amount of those entering treatment continues to be 45-64. However, in contrast to other years, male and female figures were nearly on par, n=159 and n=153 respectively. Like previous years, Donegal has the highest number aged 65+ entering treatment (n=44) followed by Leitrim with reports of n=7 males in this age group entering treatment.
2021
In 2021, the number of individuals increased again to n=885. Donegal continues to have the highest rate of individuals seeking treatment n=465. While Leitrim’s numbers dropped to n=70, Monahan’s figures nearly doubled to n=104.
The age range of 45-64 years continues to be the category with the highest amount with males and females seeking treatment (n=190) and (n=150) respectively. Leitrim’s figures maintain to n=70, while Monaghan increased to n=104.
Overall Observations
From the obtained data from NDTRS several interesting elements have been highlighted.
Firstly, Donegal has the highest number of individuals seeking treatment for alcohol, this may be because of having good services, or because of a high number of individuals consuming alcohol and requiring treatment.
Secondly, Leitrim appears to have the lowest number of individuals seeking treatment, this could be the counterbalance for Donegal in that there may be no services to be referred to, or that there is a lower number of individuals consuming alcohol and requiring treatment.
Another explanation for the first two points is a result of Leitrim bordering onto Donegal indicating individuals may access services in a different county, however, Leitrim also boarders onto Cavan whose numbers over the previous 5 years of those entering treatment have remained below 100. Again, this may be because of lack of resources and services and further analysis will need to be undertaken.
Lastly the age groups receiving treatment has remained in the 45-64 categories, and while Donegal remained the highest with both males and females entering treatment, this age group was the highest reported in all counties looked at. This is something that has significance and requires future planning as this cohort is the step below 65+ who will in the next ten years enter this cohort and may require extra resources and services to be in place to meet the needs of those who require treatment for their alcohol consumption.
Annual Drug Use Tables (2017-2021)
2017
In 2017, the main drugs that were reported on included benzodiazepines, cannabis, cocaine, and heroin. While Donegal as previously seen from that data was the county with the highest number of individuals seeking treatment for alcohol use, Louth is the county with the highest number of those entering treatment for substance use for 2017. In 2017, the main drugs that were reported on included benzodiazepines, cannabis, cocaine, and heroin. A more detailed outline for each of these is discussed below.
For both males (n=20) and females (n=10) the highest prevalence of those entering treatment for benzodiazepine use was the age range 25-34 years. There is no data for the age group 45+ for benzodiazepine use, however this age cohort has the highest incidence of those entering treatment for alcohol use. Louth had the highest number of individuals (n=26) entering treatment for Benzodiazepine use in 2017.
Donegal have the highest number (n=71) of individuals entering treatment for cannabis use, with males aged 18-24 (n=34) making up just under half of the total. In comparison to Benzodiazepines, treatment for cannabis reaches across more age groups, including males ages 45-64.
While Donegal (n=24) and Louth (n=25) have similar numbers for those entering treatment for cocaine are on par, the age groups differ with Donegal (n=7) having more entering treatment from the age group 18-24 years, Louth (n=14) have more from the 35-44 age group. With males (n=71) entering treatment for cocaine and females (n=7), this gives a ratio of 1:10 when comparing females to their male counterparts.
While Louth remains the county for the highest number of individuals entering treatment for heroin (n=66), the figures representing Cavan are noteworthy. Of the n=12 males entering treatment for heroin, this makes up 16% of the total number of individuals who sought treatment for any substance in Cavan in the year 2017, indicating nearly one in five individuals are seeking treatment for heroin. The age group of 35-44 (n=49) was the highest number for males, where as the age group of 25-34 (n=15) was the highest for females.
In summary the main drug for those entering treatment was for cannabis (n=171), followed by Heroin (n=132), Cocaine (n=79) and Benzodiazepines (n=51). Cannabis resulted in the highest number of males (n=128), followed by heroin (n=100), Cocaine (n=72) and Benzodiazepines (n=44). For females, the most frequent drug used requiring treatment to be sought was cannabis (n=43), followed by Heroin (n=32), Benzodiazepines (n=17) and cocaine (n=7).
2018
In 2018, the main drugs that were reported on included benzodiazepines, cannabis, cocaine, and heroin. Louth continues to be the county with the highest seeking treatment (n=250) followed closely by Donegal (n=162). The main drugs that were reported on included benzodiazepines, cannabis, cocaine, and heroin. A more detailed outline for each of these is discussed below.
Of the total number of individuals seeking treatment for benzodiazepines (n=52), Louth has the highest prevalence of (n=29). Both males (n=19) and females (n=9) in the age group of 25-34 have the highest number of individuals seeking treatment for benzodiazepines.
Donegal (n=54) and Louth (n=60) continue to be the counties with the highest incidence of those entering treatment for cannabis use. For both males and females, the age ranges of 18-24 (n=50 and n=15 respectively) and 25-34 (n=46 and n=21 respectively) continue to be the highest group of those entering treatment.
While males of the age group 18-24 (n=35) and 25-34 (n=38) account for 85% of all those entering treatment for cocaine in 2018–there is insufficient data for females which should be noted.
There was a reduction to (n=101) of the number of individuals entering treatment in 2018 for heroin, compared to (n=132) on the previous year. The age range of 25-34 for males (n=39) and females (n=11) continues to be the most prevalent.
In summary the main drug for those entering treatment was Cannabis (n=158), followed by Heroin (n=101), cocaine (n=86) and benzodiazepines (n=52). Cannabis resulted in the highest number of males (n=116), followed by heroin (n=90), Cocaine (n=86) and Benzodiazepines (n=44). For females, the most frequent drug used requiring treatment to be sought was cannabis (n=42), followed by Heroin (n=11), Benzodiazepines (n=9) and insufficient data for cocaine (n=0).
2019
In 2019, the main drugs that were reported on included benzodiazepines, cannabis, cocaine, and heroin. Donegal was the county with the highest prevalence of individuals seeking treatment for substance use (n=249) followed by Louth (188). The main drugs that were reported on included benzodiazepines, cannabis, cocaine, and heroin. A more detailed outline for each of these is discussed below.
While males (n=44) make up the majority of those entering treatment for Benzodiazepine use, there was an increase to (n=16) women entering treatment compared to (n=9) in 2018. The age range of 25-34 continues to be the most prevalent for males (n=21) and females (n=8).
There was an increase in individuals entering treatment (n=183) in 2019 in comparison to 158 in the previous year. While the age group of 18-24 males (n=61) had the highest prevalence, for females it was the 25-34 age group (n=16).
There was a sharp rise in the incidence of those entering treatment for cocaine (n=157), the majority of which we males (n=134). The age group with the highest prevalence for males (n=59) was 25-34 with females (n=10) in the 18-24 age group.
While the numbers of individuals (n=72) entering treatment for heroin was lower in 2019, compared to n=101 in 2018, the number of females increased from n=11 in 2018 to n=19 in 2019. The age group with the highest prevalence was males (n=22) aged 25-34 and females (n= 11) aged 35-44.
In summary, the main drug for those entering treatment was Cannabis (n=183), followed by cocaine (n=157), Heroin (n=72), and benzodiazepines (n=60). Cannabis resulted in the highest number of males (n=144), followed by Cocaine (n=134), heroin (n=53), and Benzodiazepines (n=44). For females, the most frequent drug used requiring treatment to be sought was cannabis (n=39), followed by cocaine (n=23), Heroin (n=19) and Benzodiazepines (n=16).
2020
In 2020 the main drugs that were reported on included benzodiazepines, cannabis, cocaine, and heroin. Donegal, for the second time was the county with the highest prevalence of those entering treatment for substances (n=215) followed by Louth (n=188). The main drugs that were reported on included benzodiazepines, cannabis, cocaine, and heroin. A more detailed outline for each of these is discussed below.
From previous years there was an increase in those entering treatment for benzodiazepines (n=73), with males accounting for (n=64) of these. The age group of 25-34 is has the highest prevalence for males (n=36) and females (n=9) respectively.
Figures for those entering treatment for cannabis reduced in 2020 to (n=133), compared to n=183 in 2019. Males aged 25-34 continue to be the highest cohort (n=39), followed by females in the 18-24 age group (n=20).
Like cannabis, the figures for those entering treatment for cocaine use decreased to (n=128) compared to (n=157) in 2019. The age group with the highest incidence continues to be 25-34 for both males (n=54) and females (n=9) respectively.
Again, the figures for those entering treatment for heroin use decreased in 2020 (n=65) compared to (n=71) in 2019. The age cohort of 35-44 had the highest incidence of males (n=27) and females (n=11) respectively.
In summary the main drug for those entering treatment was Cannabis (n=133), followed by cocaine (n=128), benzodiazepines (n=73) and Heroin (n=64), Cocaine (n=119) resulted in the highest number of males, followed by Cannabis (n=96), Benzodiazepines (n=64), and heroin (n=47). For females the most frequent drug used requiring treatment to be sought was cannabis (n=37), followed by Heroin (n=18), cocaine (n=9), and Benzodiazepines (n=9).
While the numbers of those entering treatment decreased in all incidences the Covid-19 pandemic may have affected presentations for treatment and results should be interpreted with caution.
2021
In 2021 the main drugs that were reported on included benzodiazepines, cannabis, cocaine, and heroin. The total figures for those entering treatment for substance use in 2021 rose to N=586, with Louth accounting for (n=286) and Donegal reporting (n=184). The main drugs that were reported on included benzodiazepines, cannabis, cocaine, and heroin. A more detailed outline for each of these is discussed below.
While the numbers for those entering treatment for benzodiazepine use fell again from (n=73) in 2020 to (n=53) in 2021, the number of women entering treatment rose sharply from (n=9) in 2020 to (n=26) in 2021.
Those seeking treatment for cannabis use rose sharply in 2021 to (n=170), with males accounting for (n=134) in comparison to (n=36) females. The age range of 25-34 had the highest prevalence of males (n=56) whereas females in the 18-24 category (n=23) made up the majority of those seeking treatment.
Treatment for cocaine increased for both males (n=154) and females (n=30) compared to in 2010 where figures accounted for (n=128) and (n=9) respectively. The age group of 25-34 had the highest incidence of males (n=76) and females (n=12) seeking treatment for cocaine use.
The figures for those entering treatment for heroin use increased to (n=91), compared to (n=65) in 2020. For both males (n=31) and females (n=13) the age cohort of 35-44 has the highest incidence of people entering treatment for heroin.
In summary the main drug for those entering treatment was cocaine (n=184), followed by cannabis (n=134), heroin (n=91) and benzodiazepines (n=53), Cocaine (n=154) resulted in the highest number of males, followed by Cannabis (n=134), heroin (n=65), and Benzodiazepines (n=27). For females the most frequent drug used requiring treatment to be sought was cannabis (n=36), followed by cocaine (n=30), Heroin (n=26), and Benzodiazepines (n=26).
While the numbers of those entering treatment increased in all incidences the Covid-19 pandemic may have affected presentations for treatment and results should be interpreted with caution.
Overall Observations
The most frequent substance that treatment was provided for included Benzodiazepines, Cannabis, Cocaine and Cannabis. Compared to alcohol the main age groups that are treated for these substances are 18-24, 25-34 and 35-44. Both Donegal and Louth have the highest numbers of those entering treatment, but Cavan appears to have an increasing incidence for treatment of all four substances which may warrant further analysis. Similar to the alcohol data the presentations of women seeking substances are significantly lower than their male counterparts. Caution must be used when interpreting the results from 2020 as figures of those entering treatment are lower which may be as a result of the Covid 19 pandemic.
While Donegal and Louth have high numbers of individuals entering treatment, Cavan, Leitrim and Monaghan and their lack of data suggests that there may be a lack of services for individuals not only in these areas but also for the particular substances being used. Further analysis would be warranted in these counties to determine possible barriers for individual seeking treatment.
