Addiction Rehab
Information
Searching for a drug rehab

life-changing decision with
so many options to research.
That's why we're here. To
break it down in simple
terms and to answer all your
questions.

dependency - be it drugs or
alcohol - in the state of

The state of New Hampshire
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 New
Hampshire
drug rehab program meets
every individual's needs.

New Hampshire Drug Use
Information
|
|
According
to the DEA (U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration),
marijuana is readily available throughout New
Hampshire. Marijuana is the predominant drug of
choice in the state. Most of the marijuana available
in the region is transported from the southwestern
U.S. and originates in Mexico with local Caucasian
violators traveling weekly or bi-monthly to Arizona
and southern California to obtain 200-300 pound
quantities of the drug. Cannabis is also cultivated
within New Hampshire. Because of the rural nature of
the state, particularly in the north, potential
growing areas abound and most of the outdoor growers
have reduced the size of their plots and increased
the variety and scope of their concealment efforts.
THC content in excess of 22 percent has been seen in
the state.
The state of New Hampshire experienced a continued
growth in availability of methamphetamine in the
past few years. Methamphetamine is available
throughout the state.
Heroin remains readily available at the retail level
and its use is widespread. Heroin sources of supply
are located in Lowell, Lawrence and Lynn, MA. The
state continues to experience increases in heroin
availability. Heroin prices on the retail level have
remained stable.
Cocaine HCl and crack cocaine are readily available
at the retail level; kilogram quantities of the drug
are encountered with less frequency. In recent
years, the seacoast region has experienced a
significant increase in availability, due in part to
its proximity to source areas in Massachusetts,
specifically, the Lowell and Lawrence areas.
Hospitals and substance abuse clinics in the states
of New Hampshire, Connecticut, Massachusetts, and
Vermont likewise are noting an increase in addiction
to prescription drugs, primarily OxyContin ® while
substance abuse clinics in New Hampshire have
indicated an increase in addiction to other
prescription drugs, such as fentanyl (patches),
Suboxone, methadone. Diversion of these drugs are
occurring from either the patients reselling their
medications or doctors negligently writing large
amount of Suboxone ® prescriptions to patients.
Several states in New England, to include New
Hampshire, have seen a growing trend of underground
Internet pharmacies involved in the illicit
distribution of controlled substances without a
required prescription. |

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." |
