What are the Odds in West Virginia?

ROUGHLY 5% OF THE POPULATION IN WEST VIRGINIA IS USING PAINKILLERS TO ACHIEVE A HIGH

9% OF THE 12 TO 17 YEAR-OLDS ARE USING PAINKILLERS FOR NON-MEDICINAL USE

15% OF THE 18 TO 25 YEAR-OLD BRACKET ARE ABUSING PAINKILLERS

When you think of West Virginia, what do you think of? If you don't reside there, then you probably think of national parks, The Civil War, West Virginia University and other such things. The item you probably won't recognize, even if you lived there, is the drug problem.

The scene in West Virginia is not limited to basically one drug. There are problems with cocaine, marijuana, and the non-medicinal use of painkillers. In the category of non-medicinal use of painkillers, West Virginia shows up to be one of the states furthest from optimum.

The prescription pain relievers causing the biggest problems are methadone, Vicodin, and OxyContin, but OxyContin tops them all. In many cases, the dependency or addiction starts with a prescription from the doctor. However, in most cases you only need to take these drugs for a short time to become dependent. And it doesn't take longer to become addicted either.

The problem with these drugs is that they are so hard to quit. The pain of withdrawal can be almost unbearable and people often turn back to the drug rather than go through with it.

However, there is an answer - prescription drug detox. Prescription drug detox can help you get through withdrawal safely and without severe symptoms.

Drug Rehab Referral recommends a good prescription drug detox program as the first step in ending the dependency. When you've also become addicted, you would do the drug detox program first, and then move onto drug rehab.

What if I didn't get the pills from my doctor?

Many people involved in prescription drug abuse didn't get their pills from a doctor - they got them from friends, parents' medicine cabinets, off the Internet, through doctor shopping, or through local dealers. Prescription drug addiction, dependency and abuse is a problem with every age group, but the highest percentage of abusers fall into the 18 to 25 year-old bracket - about 15% of young people in that age group abuse prescription drugs.

This indicates that in college, in your son's or daughter's living space (estimating 40 people) there are about six people that are using prescription drugs to get high. That's just in regard with prescription drugs, not to mention the broad spectrum of other illicit drugs.

Speaking of illicit drugs, cocaine has its fare share of use in the state. In that same age group (18-25 year-old), 10% have done cocaine in the past year. Translate that into your son's or daughter's college life, and that could be four of your children's friends who have done cocaine.

These cocaine problems, fortunately, are not going unnoticed by the police. Shabu, alias for "poor man's cocaine", is the number one concern for police in West Virginia. A Senior Superintendent for the force said this: "…Illegal drug use of Shabu… still tops the list of prohibited and dangerous drugs."

The above problem concerning drugs in West Virginia is so threatening that on August 20, 2007, the Governor of West Virginia, Joe Manchin, awarded $687,286 to various drug-free programs across the state. The governor said this about the grants: "… Every child deserves a safe place and a caring adult. These funds will assist public and private non-profit agencies with drug and violence prevention efforts, after school prevention programs, and family-focused violence prevention and drug education programs."

Is Alcohol Rehab and Alcohol Detox Also Available in West Virginia?

Yes. Alcohol addiction and abuse happens all the time, especially if you have been a heavy drinker or have been binge drinking from a young age.

Heavy drinkers or binge drinkers are usually advised to do an alcohol detox before they move on to an alcohol rehab. Quitting drinking on your own can be extremely painful, and can have medical complications. It's best to detox in a medically-supervised alcohol detox setting.
