Addiction Rehab
Information
Finding the best rehab
treatment centers to over
overcome chemical dependency
- be it drugs or alcohol -
can be a frustrating
endeavor. Just in the
state of Hawaii, there are
several options to choose
from. Our counselors can go
over the options with you.
We know location, private
vs. non-profit, in-patient
vs. out-patient as well as
several other factors should
be considered before you
make your choice let alone
the different types of drug
treatment programs that are
available.
The state of Hawaii
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 Hawaii
drug rehab program meets
every individual's needs.

Hawaii Drug Use
Information
|
|
According
to the DEA (U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration)
crystal methamphetamine (ice) is the drug of choice
in Hawaii. The majority of powder methamphetamine is
converted into ice before it is distributed. The
drug is readily available statewide. A great deal of
the crystal methamphetamine abuse in Hawaii is
attributed to the DTOs with strong domestic and
international organized crime enterprises. Mexican
organizations have become more involved in the
production and distribution of crystal
methamphetamine in Hawaii. It appears that the
majority of the crystal methamphetamine available in
Hawaii is produced in Mexico and California.
Hawaii continues to maintain its status as a
national leader in the production of high-grade
marijuana. Homegrown marijuana continues to be a
staple for locals and for export to the mainland. In
addition, search warrants conducted on ice and
cocaine trafficker residences have revealed small
seizures of marijuana. Due to the widespread
availability and use of marijuana, it remains the
second most abused drug in Hawaii.
Mexican organizations supply wholesale quantities of
black tar heroin to local drug trafficking
organizations (DTOs) and independent distributors.
Heroin is available for users from street dealers,
in illegal gambling establishments, and in the
Downtown, Waikiki, and Chinatown areas of Honolulu.
Cocaine HCl remains popular and readily available
throughout Hawaii, and is often used in conjunction
with other drugs including heroin and marijuana.
Abuse of predatory drugs, including MDMA, GHB, and
LSD (lysergic acid diethylamide), is increasing
among Hawaii’s youth and the large military
population stationed in Hawaii. These drugs are
readily available and typically consumed among
military personnel, teenagers, and young adults
attracted to dance clubs, raves, and bars.
Hydrocodone is one of the most abused pharmaceutical
drugs in Hawaii. The drug is readily available in
the counties of Honolulu and Hawaii. Doctor shopping
(going to several doctors to obtain prescriptions)
is the most common form of diversion of
pharmaceutical controlled substances. Other forms
include employee theft from drug inventories,
forgeries and prescription falsification, and
indiscriminate prescribing of drugs by doctors for
other than legitimate reasons. |

Prescription Drug Abuse
|
|
 Prescription
drug abuse means taking a
prescription medication that is not
prescribed for you, or taking it for
reasons or in dosages other than as
prescribed. Abuse of prescription
drugs can produce serious health
effects, including addiction.
According to the Office of National
Drug Control
Policy, abuse of prescription drugs
to get high has become increasingly
prevalent among teens and young
adults. Past year abuse of
prescription pain killers now ranks
second—only behind marijuana—as the
Nation's most prevalent illegal drug
problem.
There are three classes of
prescription drugs that are most
commonly abused:
•opioids such as codeine, oxycodone,
and morphine;
•central nervous system (CNS)
depressants such as barbiturates and
benzodiazepines;
•stimulants such as
dextroamphetamine and
methylphenidate
Physically, drugs have three basic
effects on the body. Either the drug
is a stimulant which gives the body
a feeling of being “high” or
energized; it can be a depressant
where it gives the body a feeling of
being calm or even sleepy; or a drug
can distort the senses.
In a recent USA Today article on the
prevalence of prescription drug
abuse, Leonard Paulouzzi of the
Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention was quoted as saying,
"prescription drugs cause
most of the more than 26,000 fatal
overdoses each year." In the same
article, Laxmaiah Manchikanti, chief
executive officer and board chairman
for the American Society of
Interventional Pain Physicians.
said, "About 120,000 Americans a
year go to the emergency room after
overdosing on opioid painkillers." |
