According to the results of the study, the Chukotka Autonomous Okrug is recognized as the most prosperous region in the anti-drug rating.
The Nenets Autonomous Okrug, the Chechen Republic, the Arkhangelsk and Oryol Regions were also included in the five least “drug-dependent” entities.
The experts recognized the Republic of Khakassia as the most unsuccessful region in terms of the effectiveness of anti-drug policies.
Such regions also included Chelyabinsk, Moscow, Amur regions and St. Petersburg.
When compiling the rating, the data were used by Rosstat, the Ministry of Health, the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia and the General Prosecutor's Office and other departments.
In particular, indicators such as the number of deaths from drug poisoning were taken into account; the number of patients registered in specialized institutions; the number of persons who committed a crime while intoxicated; number of drug trafficking crimes.
According to Sultan Khamzaev, head of the Sober Russia project, a member of the Public Chamber, the experts developed a special methodology, according to which, according to official statistics, each region was given its own rating for the effectiveness of the fight against drug trafficking.
“The anti-drug rating of the regions aims to show the most problematic regions for more thorough anti-drug work. The federal center should provide a more attentive attitude to such regions and precisely build a system of assistance and solutions to drug addiction problems, ”he noted.
Earlier, Sober Russia proposed creating a system of detoxification for offenders detained in a state of intoxication.
