What are the Odds in Mississippi?

2 out of 5 high school students report drinking alcohol last month

1 out of 4 students say they binge drank (5 or more drinks per sitting) in last 30 days

1 out of 4 students report riding in a car or vehicle with a driver who was drinking

Half of college students report regularly abusing drugs or binge drinking

When surveyed, over 80 percent of parents in Mississippi associated college with drinking. While most of those same parents didn't actually think their child would drink a lot, it's interesting to note just how much weight parental attitude bears on our children's behavior with alcohol and substance abuse.

It was found that the odds of their children abusing drugs and alcohol were tripled when they think it is likely their child will do so.

Most adolescents have their first encounter with alcohol before the age of 13.

By the time kids reach high school 74% have consumed alcohol at some point in their lives and 25% binge drink regularly.

For those who move onto college, 49% regularly abuse drugs or binge drink

Alcohol has been around forever. It has a strong social footing and it's not leaving anytime soon. Its use is so commonplace that we often don't emphasize with our children the disastrous effects it can have when abused. Most of us start at a young age and continue consuming it into adulthood. But for many the frequency and severity continues and that's when the real danger comes into play.

Today, new research tells us that young people who begin drinking before the age of 15 are four times more likely to develop alcohol dependence than those individuals who begin drinking at 21; ultimately prompting intervention and some form of drug rehab.
Would I need alcohol detox as well as alcohol or drug rehab?

When alcohol abuse is heavy, if you're a heavy drinker or a binge drinker, there's a good chance you'll need alcohol detox before rehab.

Binge drinking is a very big problem in high schools and colleges - over 50% of college student binge drink. In high schools it's about 25%.

Withdrawal from alcohol can be very painful - so painful that many people
just have another drink despite their resolve to quit.

With alcohol detox and rehab you can get through it
and live life clean and sober.

The counselors at Drug Rehab Referral can help you figure out whether you'll need alcohol detox and well as alcohol rehab.

What do I do if I have a problem with prescription drug addiction or dependency?

At Drug Rehab Referral we suggest prescription drug detox prior to doing drug rehab. Not only can stopping prescription drugs without medical supervision be dangerous, our experience tells us that people who have become addicted to prescription drugs do much better going through a drug detox program first - there's a much better chance they'll make it through drug rehab, and a better chance they'll stay off drugs once it's completed.

The biggest prescription drug problem in Mississippi is OxyContin - a prescription painkiller similar to heroin.

But it's not the only problem - about 15% of high school and college students are taking prescription drugs. And the adult population is not much better.
