Drug and Alcohol Rehabs in Central Tempe, Tempe
Central Tempe covers the older residential ground between University Drive and Broadway Road, south of the downtown core and the university campus.
The area was subdivided from the 1920s onward as Tempe Normal School grew into what would become Arizona State University.
Its bungalows and post-war ranch houses now mix long-standing residents with student rentals, a tension that has shaped local politics for decades.
Mill Avenue, Rural Road and McClintock run north to south with University and Broadway crossing east to west, and the light rail along Apache Boulevard to the north. Interstate 10 lies a few minutes west and the Loop 101 east.
Tempe is one of only six Maricopa County cities with its own fatal overdose dashboard, having averaged at least 50 fatal overdoses a year between 2020 and 2024.
County-wide in 2024, fentanyl was involved in 59 percent of fatal overdoses and methamphetamine in 67 percent.
The student presence shifts the local picture toward alcohol and stimulants, and adults aged 18 to 34 saw the sharpest statewide increases in overdose deaths during 2025.
Counterfeit pills circulating around Arizona campuses remain a specific concern.
