Drug Rehab and Addiction Treatment Franklin County, Montague, Massachusetts

A Youth Risk Behavior Survey was just completed on over 1500 students in the Franklin County North Quabbin area. It was published in October, 2007. The survey asked student about parental involvement, diet, exercise, smoking and the use of marijuana and alcohol. Unfortunately, there were no questions about prescription drugs like Vicodin, OxyContin, Ritalin and Adderall - which are spreading like wild fire - but even without those drugs, the extensive use of alcohol and marijuana indicate that even in relatively small towns like Montague, Franklin County, drug rehab is needed.
