May 13, 2020 – Other than alcohol, opioids and marijuana, the survey showed drugs being used by the coronavirus-weary public include benzodiazepines such as anti-anxiety medication Xanax, Adderall and other prescription stimulants, and cocaine.

Not suprisingly, the increase in alcohol consumption was 67 percent in states hardest hit by the coronavirus, including New York and New Jersey. Results from The Recovery Village survey showed that nearly 30 percent of respondents from these affected areas said their drinking had increased “significantly” over the past month.
