Delaware
Addiction Rehab
Information
Searching for a drug rehab
can be incredibly
frustrating. All the
choices available can be
extremely overwhelming at
this vulnerable time. It is
almost impossible to make a
life-changing decision with
so many options to research.
That's why we're here. To
break it down in simple
terms and to answer all your
questions.
If you are looking to
overcome chemical
dependency - be it drugs or
alcohol - in the state of
Delaware, Drug and Alcohol
Rehab Reference Center is
here to provide support and
advice at no cost or
obligation to you. 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 Delaware
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 Delaware
drug rehab program meets
every individual's needs.

Delaware Drug Use
Information
|
|
According
to the DEA (U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration),
Heroin, powder cocaine, crack cocaine, and marijuana
are the four most available, popular, and trafficked
illegal drugs in Delaware. However, clandestinely
manufactured drugs, such as methamphetamine and club
drugs, such as MDMA (ecstasy), are also readily
available to users of various ages and socioeconomic
backgrounds.
Heroin is available primarily in northern Delaware,
as distributors relocate from source cities
(Philadelphia and New York) to Wilmington in order
to escape the attention of law enforcement, attract
new customers, and sell to existing customers from
surrounding areas, including southeastern
Pennsylvania and Maryland.
Cocaine, in powder and crack forms, remains
increasingly available and popular in Delaware. Both
forms are available in various quantities to users
located both in the inner city neighborhoods of
Wilmington as well as in smaller cities and towns
across the state.
Marijuana is readily available in varying quantities
in Delaware, such that it is easily obtained and
used by individuals from a variety of ethnic
populations and socioeconomic sectors. Recreational
use of marijuana is popular among high school and
college age students. Adults remain the predominant
users of marijuana, especially in large social
gatherings, such as rock concerts.
MDMA (ecstasy) is primarily available at rave
parties and nightclubs in Wilmington and Rehoboth
Beach (particularly during the summer), but remains
available to and popular among teenagers and young
adults on college campuses across the state.
Current investigations indicate that diversion of
immediate release oxycodone products (such as
Percocet®, Percodan®, Tylox® and Roxicet®) continue
to be a problem in Delaware. Primary methods of
diversion being reported are illegal sale and
distribution by health care professionals and
workers, especially pharmacy technicians who are not
licensed in Delaware, “doctor shopping” (going to a
number of doctors to obtain prescriptions for a
controlled pharmaceutical), forged prescriptions,
and the Internet. |

 The
life cycle of addiction begins with a problem,
discomfort or some form of emotional or physical
pain a person is experiencing. The person finds this
very difficult to deal with.
Once the person takes a
drug, he feels relief from the discomfort, even
though the relief is only temporary. That drink or
drug is adopted as a solution to the problem and the
individual places value on the substance. (complete
article on the The Life Cycle and Mechanics of
Addiction.) |

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
with the proper treatment center to

under the influence. Fill out the
form at the upper right side of the
