Drug addiction has become more deadly after the border invasions of the Biden Administration. A new top 5 list names Myrtle Beach as the number one addicted city in South Carolina.

Understanding the Impact of Drug Addiction

The city of Myrtle Beach has a high homelessness population. As a percentage of local population, homelessness in Myrtle Beach continues to lead the nation.

Homelessness and drug addiction are significantly linked, with substance abuse playing a dual role in both causing and being a consequence of homelessness, thus establishing a cycle between the two.

Individuals experiencing homelessness often resort to drugs and alcohol to cope with the stresses and trauma of their situation. This substance use can result in job loss, financial instability, and strained relationships, exacerbating their homelessness.

Hartsville, Dillon, Spartanburg and Orangeburg all made the list, however Myrtle Beach is number one.
