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

Kentucky Drug Use
Information
|
|
According
to the DEA (U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration),
marijuana, methamphetamine, diverted pharmaceutical
drugs, and cocaine are the primary drug threats in
the commonwealth of Kentucky. Kentucky is a primary
source of domestically grown marijuana, the majority
of which is produced in southeastern Kentucky. The
commonwealth consistently ranks as one of the top
marijuana producing states.
Methamphetamine continues to be widely available in
central and southeastern Kentucky. Primary suppliers
of methamphetamine are Mexican DTOs (Drug
Trafficking Organizations).
Cocaine is readily available in central and
southeastern Kentucky. The presence of heroin in
Kentucky is limited, but the availability of Mexican
Black Tar heroin has risen in the Louisville area.
The availability of predatory drugs in southeastern
Kentucky is limited and usually confined to cities
where colleges and/or universities are located. MDMA,
Ketamine, GHB, and LSD remain readily available and
are primarily used by teenagers and young adults in
the cities with colleges and universities, such as
Lexington, Richmond, and Morehead.
The abuse and diversion of prescription drugs,
particularly hydrocodone and oxycodone (Lortab,
Lorcet, Vicodin® and Oxycontin), remain one of, if
not the, largest drug problem in southeastern
Kentucky. The availability of diverted
pharmaceuticals in central and northern Kentucky
remains high, but stable. The availability of
Oxycontin in southeastern Kentucky has risen due to
the increased availability of pills transported from
Midwest metropolitan areas. Primary methods of
diversion include pharmacy theft, “doctor shopping,”
prescription fraud, and purchasing large quantities
of drugs from unscrupulous Internet pharmacies. The
purchasing of drugs via the Internet continues to
have a significant impact on Kentucky. Purchasers
have the drugs delivered to their homes using false
names and/or different combinations of the same
name.

 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).
