Arkansas
Addiction Rehab Centers
Whether you're trying to
find a treatment program for
yourself, or for someone you
know, the choices can be
confusing. Would a long-term
drug rehab be necessary?
Would a drug treatment
facility far from home be a
better choice? Do all rehab
clinics provide detox
treatments? It can be
overwhelming sifting through
all the information which is
why we provide the services
we do. We can help
find a drug and/or alcohol
rehab program best suited
for your situation. Either fill out
the form to the right and
we'll contact you to answer
your questions or call us
for immediate assistance at
(877) 502-1065.
The state of Arkansas
provides several drug and
alcohol rehab programs for
adults and adolescents. With
so many choices, one would
think it wouldn't be too
difficult to select a
program, but you would be
wrong. There are just about
as many drug rehab treatment
philosophies as there are
drug and alcohol rehab
centers.
Some programs do not offer
drug detox programs and thus
refer out for this addiction
treatment service. Others
believe addiction is a
disease forever leaving the
addict in a problem
stripping them of their
freedom of choice to
overcome addiction and
sentencing them to a
lifetime of alcoholism or
being a drug addict and
thus, opening the door to
relapse.
Another aspect of selecting
a drug rehab treatment
program is whether the user
should attend a program
close to home or not.
Sometimes selecting a
program far from home is key
to success especially when
choosing long-term inpatient
treatment programs. This
provides a "trigger-free"
environment which distances
the individual from negative
reinforcements for their
addictive behavior.
Drug and Alcohol Rehab
Reference Center's staff is
experienced in matching drug
rehab needs with the proper
facility. Not every Arkansas
drug rehab program meets
every individual's needs.

Arkansas Drug Use
Information
|
|
According
to the DEA (U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration)
the availability and rate of drug abuse in Arkansas
remain high coinciding with the smuggling of
methamphetamine, cocaine, and marijuana, the drugs
of choice, for local consumption and further
distribution.
In less than ten years, methamphetamine has grown
from a problem limited to the Southwest and Pacific
regions of the United States to Arkansas’ primary
drug of concern. The state is encountering locally
produced methamphetamine as well as the importation
of methamphetamine produced in Mexico. Not only does
the state’s rural landscape provide an ideal setting
for illicit manufacturing, but the wide availability
of precursor chemicals also contributes to the ease
of manufacturing methamphetamine.
Crack cocaine, as well as powder cocaine, has
continued to be significant and long-term problems
in the state, especially in the inner cities.
Although cocaine use has been surpassed by
methamphetamine use, it is the foremost concern of
law enforcement authorities considering its impact
on communities in terms of violent crime, including
homicides, principally by street gangs.
Marijuana is in high demand and readily available
throughout Arkansas. Marijuana grown in Mexico and
domestically produced marijuana are both popular in
the state. The rural nature of the land, the warm
climate, and long growing season afford cultivators
the opportunity to produce domestic marijuana.
MDMA is the most prevalent and popular club drug in
Arkansas. Other dangerous drugs increasing in
popularity and demand throughout Arkansas include
LSD, OxyContin and GHB. These dangerous drugs are
commonly found and continue to be the drugs of
choice at “rave” functions and college hangouts
throughout the state, especially in the highly
populated areas of Arkansas.
Current investigations indicate that diversion of
hydrocodone products such as Vicodin® and oxycodone
products such as OxyContin®, as well as morphine and
pseudoephedrine, continues to be a problem in
Arkansas. Primary methods of diversion being
reported are illegal sale and distribution by
healthcare professionals and workers, “doctor
shopping” (going to a number of doctors to obtain
prescriptions for a controlled pharmaceutical),
forged prescriptions, employee theft, pharmacy
theft, and the Internet. Demerol® and Dilaudid® were
also identified as being among the most commonly
abused and diverted pharmaceuticals in Arkansas. |

Drug Abuse Facts
|
|
|
Nearly 1 in 10 high school
seniors admits to abusing
powerful prescription
painkillers. A shocking 40
percent of teens and an
almost equal number of their
parents think abusing
prescription painkillers is
safer than abusing "street"
drugs.

Impaired Driving
|
|
 On
average someone is killed by a drunk
driver every 45 minutes. In 2008, an
estimated 11,773 people died in
drunk driving related crashes
according to the National Highway
Traffic Safety Administration.
The Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention adds that this means 32
people a day a killed due to drunk
driving.
-
Of the 216
child
passengers
ages 14 and
younger who
died in
alcohol-impaired
driving
crashes in
2008, about
half (99)
were riding
in the
vehicle with
the with the
alcohol-impaired
driver.1
-
In 2008,
over 1.4
million
drivers were
arrested for
driving
under the
influence of
alcohol or
narcotics.3
That's less
than one
percent of
the 159
million
self-reported
episodes of
alcohol-impaired
driving
among U.S.
adults each
year.4
-
Drugs other
than alcohol
(e.g.,
marijuana
and cocaine)
are involved
in about 18%
of motor
vehicle
driver
deaths. These
other drugs
are often
used in
combination
with
alcohol.
The Department of Transportation has
published two studies examining the
impact of marijuana on driving
performance. Marijuana - the most
widely abused illegal drug - slows a
driver's perception of time, space,
and distance. Research also
indicates that cocaine causes
drivers to speed, change lanes
without signaling and puts other
innocent people at risk of a deadly
accident.
Driving while under the influence is
clearly a problem for everyone.
People who drive while impaired are
a danger to themselves, their
passengers and to others on the road
(in vehicles or as pedestrians).

Center can help connect an abuse
