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

Kansas Drug Use
Information
|
|
According
to the DEA (U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration),
marijuana remains the most widely abused illegal
substance in Kansas. Mexican traffickers dominate
the marijuana market in the state, transporting
large loads of lower grade marijuana via the
Interstate highway system. Indoor cultivation,
including hydroponically grown marijuana, continues
to be a concern in all areas. The hydroponic
marijuana is in strong demand due to its higher
potency and commands a much higher price than
Mexican marijuana. A highly potent form of
hydroponic marijuana, known as “Purple Kush,” is
also being found in the Kansas City area, and has
been linked to several homicides.
Crystal or “ice” methamphetamine, produced and
trafficked by Mexican DTOs (Drug Trafficking
Organizations), is predominant throughout Kansas.
Imported Mexican methamphetamine is generally high
in purity and relatively inexpensive. However, law
enforcement throughout Kansas is reporting an
increase in the local manufacture of
methamphetamine. Most of these laboratories operate
using the “birch” method and can be found in many
different locations, including residences, hotels,
vehicles, and remote farm areas.
Both cocaine HCl and crack cocaine are readily
available throughout the state of Kansas.
The availability of Mexican black tar heroin in most
of Kansas remains limited to small, user quantities,
although larger quantities can be found in cities
such as Wichita and Kansas City.
MDMA (ecstasy) remains available in limited
quantities throughout the state of Kansas. It
remains popular with young users, such as teenagers
and young adults. It also remains very popular in
the homosexual community, where it is often abused
in conjunction with methamphetamine and/or Viagra.
PCP remains available in the Kansas City and Wichita
areas.
OxyContin continues to be the pharmaceutical drug of
choice in the state of Kansas. It is favored by its
users over street drugs such as heroin due to the
consistent purity and quality. |

powerful prescription
painkillers. A shocking 40
percent of teens and an
almost equal number of their

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." |
