What are the Odds Iowa?

One in four seniors report using prescription drugs to get high

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

Drug offenders account for 26 percent of Iowa's prison population

The average age of adolescent drug treatment admission is 16


Live in Iowa?

If you're currently raising a family or thinking about raising one you need to be aware of the state's illicit drug problem. Illicit drugs have become so cheap and easy to obtain that the number of kids using drugs has reached epic proportions.

One out of three high school students have used marijuana to get high and one out of fourteen has used cocaine.

Last month, one in six youth were approached by someone selling drugs and a whopping 80 percent of high school students say they have witnessed on school grounds illegal drug use, dealing, or possession.

So what does that look like?

If your child takes the bus to school, you can bet on one third of the passengers having smoked marijuana. Almost every kid on the bus (4 out of 5) has seen some sort of drug activity at school. One fifth of the kids on that bus have been approached by someone selling drugs. And two thirds of the busload doesn't see anything wrong with it.

The disregard for the dangerousness of illicit drug use is evident in the number of kids who say it's likely that they will use drugs in the future. That statistic has grown to one in fourteen. And it doesn't help when one in five kids say that the most popular kids in the school have a reputation for drug use.


Prescription Drug Addiction, Dependency and Abuse In Iowa

In Iowa, people abuse all of the prescription drugs that are abused across the country - Xanax, Valium OxyContin , Ritalin and hydrocodone.

The number of seniors using prescription drugs to get high in Iowa is truly alarming. Often prescription drug addiction and dependency happens entirely by accident. They start taking them because they are given a prescription by their doctor during an illness or injury, but then become dependent on them and can't stop.

Prescription Drug Detox

Getting off prescription drugs can be very difficult. At Drug Rehab Referral we recommend a prescription drug detox to help a person get through withdrawal. With some prescription drugs, withdrawal is so painful that the person often just gives up and takes another pill. This is especially true with OxyContin, hydrocodone and other prescription painkillers, but withdrawal from other prescription drugs can also cause severe pain and sometimes it is medically dangerous.

If you have a problem with prescription drug addiction or dependency

Drug Detox for Heroin

We also recommended a drug detox program for heroin addiction. Call us today if you or someone you know has a problem with heroin addiction.

Alcohol Detox and Rehab in Iowa

Right now, the most feared drug problem in Iowa is methamphetamine. However, people who are addicted to alcohol pose just as great a risk. For a heavy drinker, getting off alcohol can be extremely painful and medical dangerous. Which is why we recommend alcohol detox prior to alcohol rehab.

If you or someone you know has a problem with alcohol, find out if an alcohol detox program may be the first step you need to take.

Today, an overwhelming majority of adolescents see no great harm in using illicit drugs. In fact 60 percent see no harm in occasionally using marijuana, a misconception that is often shared by parents as well. But with marijuana at potency rates five times higher than it was 20 years ago and commonly laced with additives such as cocaine and PCP that misconception has become deadly.

A little education will go along way in fixing the problem. If you don't want your kids to wind up in drug detox and drug rehab at the tender age of 16, if you don't want them to become part of the one in four seniors who abuse prescription drugs, now is the time to take action.

Take some time to go over the dangers of drugs use with your children and loved ones.

And if you know someone who is already struggling with illicit drug or alcohol addiction, or has a problem with prescription drug addiction, dependency or abuse, take quick action to help them stop.
