What are the Odds in Oregon?

In most States, the major drug zones are in the cities. Not so in Oregon. Drug use and the need for drug rehab is also alive and well in the rural areas.

In Yamhill County (Dayton, Sheridan, McMinnville, Newberg) during the past month 3500 marijuana plants were seized costing about $3.5 million.

Curry County recently seized 9000 pot plants that were in a dozen gardens scattered around the Cedar Creek.

In Bend, Oregon 129 marijuana plants were seized by police along with 10 processed bags ready for distribution.

14% of the Oregon population used marijuana in the past year.

A total of 45,073 admissions to Oregon alcohol rehabilitation programs and Oregon drug rehabs took place in 2004 according to data collected by TEDS.

31.7% these admissions were for alcohol rehabilitation only.

6.4% for heroin addiction treatment

15% for marijuana use

2% for cocaine addiction

In the 12-17 age bracket, 18.5% used marijuana in the past year

In the 18-25 age bracket, 35% used marijuana in the past year

If your son or daughter is in high school it's likely that at least two of their friends has smoked weed in the past year.

If you, or your child, think it's not that bad to smoke marijuana do some more research. Recent studies show that the drug, which an estimated 70 million Americans have at least tried, may be highly addictive to a small percentage of those who use it. And those who don't get addicted to marijuana may get addicted to other drugs - marijuana is known as the ‘gateway' drug because so many people who start with marijuana move onto other drugs. Marijuana can also cause loss of memory and severe damage to the lungs.

Dr. Rachel Wilson, a researcher at Caltech, discovered when she was at the University of California at San Francisco that endocannabinoids play an important role in the part of the brain involved in learning and memory.

Dr Onn Min Kon, a consultant physician of respiratory medicine at St Mary's Hospital in London, has several young patients who smoke cannabis and have lung diseases normally seen only in older tobacco smokers.

Prescription Drug Detox and Drug Rehab in Oregon

However, marijuana is not Oregon's only drug problem. People in Oregon also use heroin, methamphetamines, prescription drugs like OxyContin and other prescription painkillers, and tranquilizers such as Valium and Xanax.

Unlike marijuana, many of these other drugs cause physical dependency for almost every who takes them, and more than just a few get addicted. OxyContin, for example, is one of the most addictive drugs there is. Purdue Pharma, OxyContin's manufacturer, was recently fined about $634 million for lying to doctors and the public about how addictive it really is.

For drugs like that, drug rehab is often not enough. You need a medically supervised prescription drug detox program to get off them safely and without devastating pain.

Heroin, which people using OxyContin often switch to because it's cheaper and easier to get, also requires drug detox, as do methamphetamines.

If you or anyone you know is struggling with prescription drug addiction, dependency or abuse, or has a problem with heroin addiction, methamphetamines or other drugs
