New York Drug and Alcohol Rehabs

New York 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 New York, 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 New York 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.

New York Drug Use Information

According to the DEA (U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration),  most of the marijuana entering the New York City area, and some upstate regions, is of Mexican origin, smuggled primarily by auto/truck transport from the Southwestern United States. Traffickers also use containerized cargo and mail/parcel delivery services, such as Federal Express and United Parcel Service to smuggle marijuana into New York. Large shipments of marijuana also arrive in New York from Jamaica, and are then distributed by Jamaican trafficking organizations. High-quality hydroponic marijuana is smuggled into the U.S. from Canada, often via the Akwesasne Mohawk Indian Reservation situated along the U.S./Canadian border. Indoor marijuana grows are becoming more prevalent in the New York City area. Some of these indoor grows are highly sophisticated and are designed to yield substantial quantities of high potency marijuana.

Cocaine is also a significant problem in Albany and western New York State. Most cocaine distributors in the Albany area have connections to sources in New York City, but some Albany distributors have direct links with organizations in Florida and Puerto Rico.

Crack cocaine is readily available in economically depressed areas in all major New York cities, along with some suburban and semi-rural areas, and is occasionally a source of violence in upstate cities. Such violence usually occurs when new dealers challenge more established dealers over territory. Crack cocaine is typically transported in the form of powdered cocaine and converted into crack by area distributors.


Heroin is readily available from Colombian and Dominican organizations operating in the New York metropolitan area.

Methamphetamine trafficking and abuse in New York State is a less serious problem when compared to heroin, cocaine, crack, and MDMA. Much of the methamphetamine seen in NYC was produced by Mexico and/or California based Mexican methamphetamine trafficking organizations. The upstate New York market is primarily methamphetamine powder supplied by local clandestine labs.

MDMA (Ecstasy) continues to be available throughout New York State.

Current investigations indicate that hydrocodone products and OxyContin are the most commonly abused pharmaceutical drugs in the New York area. The most common methods of diversion in New York are: “doctor shopping” (going to a number of doctors to obtain prescriptions for controlled pharmaceuticals), forged prescriptions, and theft. Methadone, benzodiazepines (such as alprazolam and diazepam), and fentanyl were also identified as being among the most commonly abused and diverted pharmaceuticals in New York.

Drug Related Statistics from the White House Drug Policy for the State of Alaksa
 

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.
