Sioux City, a major hub in western Iowa, is facing a growing crisis of substance use disorders (SUDs) and mental health struggles. Families throughout Woodbury County and surrounding areas are dealing with opioid overdoses, methamphetamine addiction, and untreated mental health conditions that impact loved ones and disrupt family dynamics. With limited access to mental health services, many families feel lost, not knowing how to help their struggling family members.

According to the Iowa Department of Public Health, methamphetamine remains one of the most frequently cited substances in addiction treatment admissions in the Sioux City area. The increasing presence of fentanyl in street drugs has also led to a spike in overdose deaths. In addition, co-occurring mental health disorders, such as depression, PTSD, and anxiety, are common among those struggling with addiction. Yet, mental health resources in western Iowa remain scarce, making it difficult for individuals and families to get the help they need.

Key Challenges Facing Sioux City Families

• High Rates of Methamphetamine Use – Sioux City continues to see high rates of meth addiction, which can lead to severe mental health and behavioral issues.
• Fentanyl-Related Overdoses – The rise of fentanyl-laced opioids has increased the risk of fatal overdoses in Woodbury County.
• Limited Access to Mental Health Care – A shortage of mental health providers leaves families struggling to find timely and effective treatment options.
