What are the Odds Indiana?

ALMOST 8% OF THE POPULATION ABUSED OR DEPENDED ON ALCOHOL IN THE PAST YEAR

50% OF INDIANA USED ALCOHOL IN THE PAST MONTH

22% TOOK PART IN BINGE DRINKING IN THE PAST MONTH

15% OF HIGHSCHOOL SENIORS USE PRESCRIPTION DRUGS TO GET HIGH

The Indiana Attorney General is creating a campaign aimed at cutting down the amount of drunk driving in the state. It's a campaign that uses the radio as a means of getting the message across. The campaign is basically Public Service Announcements to communicate (and "hit home") the dangers of drunk driving and drinking underage.


To have 8% of the population abusing or depending upon alcohol is something a state should be worried about. That's over 400,000 people abusing alcohol. Abuse of alcohol is not something to take lightly, and to have 400,000 people doing it EACH MONTH is a risk to anyone driving in the state. Unfortunately you are bound to run into at least one of them on the road.

Also with 22% of the population taking part in binge drinking, there would naturally be concern for drunk driving.

In addition to the legal aged drinker there are a good number of underage citizens taking part in the drinking going on.

28.5% of citizens aged 12-20 years-old used alcohol in the past month. 19% took part in binge drinking in the past month.

Another factor to consider is that these percentages concerning illegal drinking are not going down. They are predicted to up. By 2010 they are estimated to go from 28.5% to 31% and 19% to 20% respectively.

This may seem like a small increase, but this accounts for thousands of more teens getting into alcohol each month. And with the numbers already binge drinking we need more drug and alchol rehab programs for the citizens of Indiana now.

Prescription Drug Addiction and Dependency in Indiana

15% of high school seniors using prescription drugs to get high is a very alarming statistic. Some of these kids accidentally became addicted or dependent when they were given the drugs by their doctor for an illness, injury or an operation.

Parents are also prescribed these drugs and leave them in the medicine cabinet. Kids hear about them from other kids and decide to try them out. And guess where they get them? The medicine cabinet.

The problem with prescription painkillers is that you can become dependent on or addicted to them even if you've only been taking them a matter of days or weeks. And they can be very hard to stop taking.

Prescription painkillers like OxyContin, Vicodin, hydrocodone and methadone, for example, are very highly addictive. They're similar to heroin - and once you're addicted to or dependent on them, getting off them isn't any easier than getting off heroin. Benzodiazapines like Valium and Xanax are also highly addictive and hard to kick.

Prescription Drug Detox

What are your options if you have a problem with prescription drug addiction or dependency? For most people, medically supervised drug detox is the answer.

Do I Need Alcohol Detox or Alcohol Rehab?

People who have been binge drinking or have a history of heavy drinking could benefit from alcohol detox prior to doing alcohol rehab. Quitting alcohol can be painful and can have medical complications. If you do both alcohol detox and rehab, your chances of success are much better. And the detox process will be safe and more comfortable.

If you need help with alcohol, call Drug Rehab Referral.

We can help you find an alcohol detox and, if needed, an alcohol rehab program.

In view of all the above percentages and facts, it is clear that the Attorney General has grounds for launching the campaign against drunk driving and underage drinking.

But you can't wait and hope the public service announcements will do enough to save your kids. Talk to your kids and friends about alcohol abuse. Parents and friends don't give themselves enough credit; you can help a friend or child with an alcohol problem. Help starts with education.

It is also clear that prescription drug addiction and dependency have to be aggressively handled. Hopefully, prescription drug detox and drug rehab in Indiana will be the next campaign.
