The state of drug situation is an important component of security enforcement of modern society. In this regard, narcotism, the effectiveness of the implementation of anti-drug policy by the state and public institutions are annually studied in various areas. In the article based on the study of statistical data on hospitalization of patients in the organizations of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation with a diagnosis of «drug addiction», the amount of drugs and psychotropic substances seized by law enforcement agencies from illegal drug trafficking, as well as the level of drug crime, the drug situation in the Siberian Federal District is analyzed. Also, when assessing narcotism, the results of sociological research as an integral part of the annual monitoring of the drug situation were used. Special attention is paid to the consideration of the movement of drugs of the opium group, the state of opium addiction, determination of the most problematic federal subjects located within the district. An attempt to determine the most probable transit regions and the concentration of narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances is made. Reasoning from the analysis carried out, attention is drawn to the high level of drug tension in the district, exceeding in some areas the corresponding indicators across the Russian Federation.

Despite the fact that in Russia as a whole a slight detensioning in the sphere of illegal distribution of narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances in recent years has been seen, the problem of the use of psychoactive substances remains really serious. The article analyzes the drug situation in the Алтайский region based on the study of statistical data on hospitalization of patients in the organizations of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation diagnosed «with drug addiction», the level of drug crime, as well as the volume of drugs and psychotropic substances seized by law enforcement agencies from illegal trafficking in the Altai territory. The analyzed period, according to the main statistical indicators obtained during the annual monitoring of the drug situation, covers 2017-2019, which makes it possible to assess not only the immediacy of the problem, but also its dynamics. Generally, the processes in the sphere of illegal distribution of narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances in the Altai territory mainly repeat similar processes taking place both in the Siberian Federal District and in Russia. At the same time, there are some peculiar features of the drug situation, as a result of the geographic location, demographic situation, migration processes, and the socio-economic situation in the Altai Territory. The use of some data from sociological studies, as an integral element of the annual monitoring, made it possible to determine the level of latency in drug use by the population for non-medical purposes. The article draws attention to the significant predominance of the youth and people of working age among drug users. The authors suggest some measures that can improve the drug situation in the territory.
