What are the Odds in Connecticut?

One in twelve Connecticut residents over the age of 12 used an illicit drug last month

Fifty percent of all high school seniors in Connecticut have used marijuana

One in ten high school seniors reports using cocaine.

One in twelve high school students uses marijuana before the age of thirteen

Drug dealers have been working overtime in Connecticut and their efforts have paid off. Better marketing by way of slick drug combinations and purer grades have steadily increased drug use among the young. It's now in middle class suburbs, wealthy gated communities, private schools, and college campuses.

Drugs like heroin that were once unpopular because it had to be injected, are now being sold in purer forms that can be smoked or sniffed. And with the ability to obtain them within an hour and at prices cheaper than a six pack, illicit drug use has become rampant.

So how bad is it?

One out of two adolescents has used an illicit drug by the time they reach high school graduation and one out of five college students used an illicit drug in the last month.

But it isn't limited to marijuana. In fact, one out of four high school kids has tried an illicit drug such as heroin, cocaine or methamphetamines. And when they graduate out of high school and into college what awaits them is a student body of which 50% binge drink, abuse prescription drugs, or use illicit drugs on a monthly basis.

If you've ever been concerned about sending your child away to school, your fears are warranted. Fortunately, education about the danger of drug abuse goes a long way toward its prevention.

Things like skipped attendance and failing grades are often an indication of drug abuse. There may have been a time that it could have been dismissed as a phase of adolescent youth but today dealers and pusher have literally put illicit drugs within your child's reach.

Prescription Drug Rehab in Connecticut For OxyContin and Other Prescription Drugs

Sometimes you end up in situations you didn't expect or intend to - and prescription drug addiction and dependency is one of those situations.

High school and college students, as well as others, take prescription painkillers and other drugs like Ritalin, Adderall, Xanax and Valium when they're prescribed by their doctor. Others are given these drugs by their friends and, thinking that they're available through doctors, have the mistaken idea that they're safe.

But they're not - far from it. These drugs are very similar to heroin, cocaine and the other street drugs you wouldn't think of taking. And taking prescription drugs can sometimes lead to taking heroin and cocaine. A person taking a painkiller like OxyContin, for example, can turn to heroin when their prescription runs out. On the street, heroin is cheaper, and it's readily available.

The fact is this: prescription drugs can be even more difficult to withdraw from and to quit taking. Often a prescription drug detox is needed to help the person get off them safely. And if the person is addicted, they'll need drug rehab after drug detox.
