What are the Odds in D.C.?

Last month, one in six youth were approached by someone selling drugs

One in fourteen kids says it is likely they will use drugs in the future

One out of eight adolescents ages 12-17 used an illicit drug last month

Drug Detox and Drug Rehab Are Often Required to Stop Prescription Drugs

If 25% of high school seniors are using prescription drugs to get high, how many will need prescription drug detox and, possibly, drug rehab? It may be as many as half of them. And, more than likely, they'll need it for Xanax or OxyContin as these drugs are Washington, D.C.'s mostly commonly abuse prescription drugs.

OxyContin also leads to heroin abuse - they are virtually the same - because heroin is less expensive. When people using OxyContin find it hard to get, heroin is their next choice.

OxyContin and heroin are both hard to withdraw from without medical supervision.

Going to a good drug detox before drug rehab might benefit a lot of people who became addicted to heroin or OxyContin as they have a better chance of actually making it through the rehab program, and preventing relapse when they're through.

Xanax and Valium are similar.


If you're taking OxyContin, Xanax, Valium or any other prescription drug and are having trouble stopping, Drug Rehab Referral recommends you go to a good medical drug detox program to help you withdraw safely and more comfortably.

We can help you find a medical drug detox program and a good prescription Washington, D.C. drug rehab program.

Do I also need drug detox and drug rehab for illicit drugs?


Illicit drug use is out of control in the District of Columbia. The ease at which illicit drugs can now be obtained is truly mind boggling. To say that marijuana, cocaine, and heroin are within your child's grasp is not an exaggerated figure of speech but a stone cold fact.

Not only is it easy to obtain but it's also inexpensive. Dealers are now distributing purer grade substances at a cheaper price. Kids can get high with nothing more than three, five, or ten bucks in their pocket. Today, it's easier and cheaper for a kid to buy a hit of heroin than it is to buy a beer.

So how prevalent has it become?


80% of high school students say they have witnessed on school grounds illegal drug use, dealing, or possession. Nearly 50% of teenagers try marijuana before they graduate from high school. 25% of youth will tell you that drug selling occurs in their neighborhood.

One out of six kids can buy marijuana within one hour.

And sadly, but much to the drug dealers delight, illicit drug use has become the cool thing to do. One out of five kids will tell you that the most popular kids in school have a reputation for using drugs.

Peer pressure, availability, and cost are the recipe for disaster when it comes to illicit drug use. And with today's purer grades of heroin and marijuana that's five times more potent than it was 20 years ago, a child's curiosity can turn to addiction and quick. Make sure that your friends and family are aware of the dangers inherent to substance abuse. If you find that they are using drugs take action to get them off as quickly as possible.

If you live in D.C. the odds that your kids, family members, friends and neighbors are caught in the grip of drug abuse and dependency is very high. Don't let it ruin your lives - get help today.

Do I Also Need Drug Rehab for Alcohol?

If you drink more than you should - and even if you only drink once a week that could qualify as ‘more than you should' if you have more than one or two drinks - you might well need alcohol rehab.

If someone you know does drink heavily than you need to help them get into an alcohol detox program and then into an alcohol rehab program.
