The review integrated national statistics (2019\u20132025) with findings from population, student, and clinical studies to outline prevalence, treatment, and regulatory contexts.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Across MENA, conflict, displacement, demographic pressure, and shifting trafficking routes have coincided with expanding stimulant and pharmaceutical markets. In Jordan, a comparatively stable setting with a large youth population, available estimates suggest national substance use disorder [SUD] prevalence of ~0.9\u20131.7%, but substantially higher levels among students (7\u201317%), indicating concentrated risk and likely underestimation in population surveys due to stigma and underreporting. Cannabis and amphetamine\u2010type stimulants (including Captagon) feature prominently in seizures and treatment presentations, alongside rising nonmedical use of benzodiazepines and gabapentinoids linked to regulatory gaps and pharmacy access. Tobacco use remains extremely high (66% of men), while alcohol consumption appears low in population surveys yet disproportionately represented in clinical and forensic data, highlighting hidden harm and surveillance constraints. Treatment is largely centralised in two public centres; opioid agonist therapy is limited (methadone primarily for inpatient detoxification in private settings). Harm\u2010reduction coverage (e.g., needle\u2013syringe programming, overdose prevention) remains low and shaped by legal, funding, and human\u2010rights considerations. The 2022\u20132026 National Mental Health and Substance Use Action Plan prioritises integration into primary care.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Jordan is progressing toward a coordinated national response to substance use and substance use\u2010related problems, yet major gaps persist in epidemiological surveillance, harm\u2010reduction, and gender\u2010 and youth\u2010specific interventions. Continued investment in research and evidence\u2010based policy evaluation remains essential for sustainable progress. Jordan's trajectory reflects broader shifts across the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region, where traditionally low\u2010prevalence settings are confronting rising stimulant markets, prescription drug misuse, and constrained harm\u2010reduction capacity.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/add.70442","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,4,20]],"date-time":"2026-04-20T08:32:28Z","timestamp":1776673948000},"page":"2242-2251","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Regional perspectives on substance use, substance use\u2010related problems and policy: The case of Jordan"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"121","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8724-6027","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mayyada","family":"Wazaify","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biopharmaceutics and Clinical Pharmacy, School of Pharmacy The University of Jordan  Amman Jordan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Maysa","family":"Suyagh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biopharmaceutics and Clinical Pharmacy, School of Pharmacy The University of Jordan  Amman Jordan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Haya","family":"Yasin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pharmacology and Clinical Pharmacy, School of Pharmacy Middle East University  Amman Jordan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,4,20]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_18_2_1","unstructured":"UNFPA.Jordan Population\u20102025 [Internet].
