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 Idaho, 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 Idaho
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 Idaho
drug rehab program meets
every individual's needs.

Idaho Drug Use
Information
|
|
According
to the DEA (U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration),
Marijuana is one of the most highly abused drugs in
Idaho. Some marijuana is produced in indoor grow
operations. Marijuana is produced primarily on local
properties, and state and federal forest lands.
In Idaho, prescription drugs are largely abused. The
primary methods of diversion of legitimate
pharmaceuticals continue to be illegal dispensing
and prescribing by physicians, prescription forgery,
doctor shopping, and drug thefts from pharmacies and
hospitals. Pharmacy burglaries are prevalent
throughout the state. Diversion Investigators are
also encountering pharmaceuticals that have been
purchased via the Internet. The abuse and
trafficking of oxycodone (OxyContin, Percocet,
Percodan), hydrocodone (Vicodin, Lortab), methadone,
and anabolic steroids continues to be a concern.
Crystal Methamphetamine (ice) is a widely abused
drug in Idaho, and continues to impact al elements
of society.
Mexican black tar is the predominate form of heroin
available in Idaho, with brown heroin encountered
sporadically.
During the past year, in the DEA Boise Area of
Responsibility, the price of cocaine HCL has
diminished. The use of cocaine has also tripled
during the same period. This is due to the increased
law enforcement activities by Mexican law
enforcement authorities against precursor chemicals
and methamphetamine production in that country.
Club drugs, particularly MDMA (street name Ecstasy)
(4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine) continues to be
popular among young adults, and most often is found
at rave venues. MDMA encountered for sale in Idaho
is believed to originate in Canada, which is then
smuggled into the United States through the State of
Washington. Steroids are also available in Idaho,
and are mainly acquired through Internet purchases. |

 Drug
cravings seem insurmountable to the drug addict.
Their cravings are so intense and uncomfortable that
it induces the addict to commit acts such as
stealing from one’s own family in order to get more
drugs. The addict does things that he normally
wouldn’t do, were he not addicted. These misdeeds
make it even more difficult for the addict to face
and confront the situation. |

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).
