Michigan Drug and Alcohol Rehabs

Michigan 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 Michigan, 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 Michigan 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 Michigan drug rehab program meets every individual's needs.  Fill out the form to the right to set up the time best to contact you.

Michigan Drug Use Information

According to the DEA (U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration), small “Mom and Pop” and “One Pot” operators continue to dominate the manufacturing of methamphetamine in small one to two ounce quantities for personal use and for distribution at the local level.

Heroin is widely available throughout the Detroit metropolitan area and the more densely populated areas of Michigan. Western Michigan has seen a rise in heroin abuse among young middle-class suburbanites. The suburban OxyContin abuse has transitioned into heroin as local economies fail and the price of heroin is more affordable.

Cocaine and crack cocaine trafficking and abuse remain at high levels within the state of Michigan. Wholesale distribution cells operating in the major cities of Michigan are directed by Mexican drug trafficking organizations that have direct links to Colombian cartels. Local crack distribution cells dominate inner city trafficking activities. These organizations are frequently involved in violence in conjunction with their illicit activities. Cocaine purity levels range between 40% to 90% and quantities can be purchased in amounts ranging from grams to several kilograms.

The Northern Border in Detroit serves as a transshipment point for multi-thousand dosage unit quantities of predatory and club drugs, such as MDMA and GHB. Middle Eastern and Caucasian criminal groups, Asian groups, independent inner-city groups, and area college students transport MDMA primarily from the Toronto area of Canada into the United States. MDMA and other club drugs are then transported to other areas of the country.

The abuse and diversion of prescription drugs, particularly hydrocodone, oxycodone (Lortab, Lorcet, Vicodin, and Oxycontin), and methadone, is increasing throughout the state. Detroit is a source city for OxyContin that is transported and distributed to users in Kentucky and West Virginia for a high profit margin.

drug addictionDrug 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.

National Drug Threat Summary

The National Drug Intelligence Center National Drug Threat Assessment

NDICThe trafficking and abuse of illicit drugs inflict tremendous harm upon individuals, families, and communities throughout the country. The violence, intimidation, theft, and financial crimes carried out by drug trafficking organizations (DTOs), criminal groups, gangs, and drug users in the United States pose a significant threat to our nation. The cost to society from drug production, trafficking, and abuse is difficult to fully measure or convey; however, the most recent data available are helpful in framing the extent of the threat. For example:

  • More than 35 million individuals used illicit drugs or abused prescription drugs in 2007.
     
  • In 2006 individuals entered public drug treatment facilities more than 1 million times seeking assistance in ending their addiction to illicit or prescription drugs.
     
  • More than 1,100 children were injured at, killed at, or removed from methamphetamine laboratory sites from 2007 through September 2008.
     
  • For 2009 the federal government has allocated more than $14 billion for drug treatment and prevention, counterdrug law enforcement, drug interdiction, and international counterdrug assistance.
     
  • In September 2008 there were nearly 100,000 inmates in federal prisons convicted and sentenced for drug offenses, representing more than 52 percent of all federal prisoners.
     
  • In 2007 more than 1.8 million drug-related arrests in the United States were carried out by federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies.
     
  • Mexican and Colombian DTOs generate, remove, and launder between $18 billion and $39 billion in wholesale drug proceeds annually.
     
  • Diversion of controlled prescription drugs costs insurance companies up to $72.5 billion annually, nearly two-thirds of which is paid by public insurers.
