The average illicit drug use in Nebraska has remained below the national average for the past several years. Less than 2.5% of Nebraska residents struggle with addiction to illegal drugs, the national average is about 3%. The largest concentration of drug users are between the ages of 12 and 17 in both Nebraska and the rest of the country. In the U.S. about 10% of the population of young people are addicted to drugs. Nebraska’s average for this age group is slightly above 8%, and has been lower than the national average for the past six years.
