North Dakota
Addiction Rehab
Information
Searching for a drug rehab
can be incredibly
frustrating. All the
choices available can be
extremely overwhelming at
this vulnerable time. It is
almost impossible to make a
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.
If you are looking to
overcome chemical
dependency - be it drugs or
alcohol - in the state of
North Dakota, Drug and Alcohol
Rehab Reference Center is
here to provide support and
advice at no cost or
obligation to you. Either fill out
the form to the right and
we'll contact you to answer
your questions or call us
for immediate assistance at
(877) 502-1065.
The state of North Dakota
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 North
Dakota
drug rehab program meets
every individual's needs.

North Dakota Drug Use
Information
|
|
According
to the DEA (U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration),
the methamphetamine threat in North Dakota is a
two-pronged problem. First, large quantities of
methamphetamine produced by Mexican organizations
based in California and Washington are transported
into and distributed throughout the state. Second,
methamphetamine is produced in small, toxic
laboratories that are capable of producing only a
few ounces at a time. North Dakota’s State General
Assembly passed legislation requiring that every
individual who purchases a product containing
pseudoephedrine must show photo identification. This
legislation has resulted in a sharp decline in the
local production of methamphetamine, and a sharp
decline in thefts of anhydrous ammonia, commonly
used in the "Birch" methamphetamine manufacturing
method.
Virtually all of the heroin encountered in North
Dakota, mainly in Fargo, is black tar heroin from
Mexico.
The presence of marijuana cultivated in Canada (both
"B.C. Bud" and hydroponically generated) had
increased dramatically. Canadian drug organizations
from Vancouver and Manitoba use the wide North
Dakota border with Canada to bring these types of
marijuana into the United States; but with the bulk
of the marijuana destined for areas outside of North
Dakota. North Dakota State University (NDSU) is
continuing its approval process to commercially grow
HEMP, which may occur in 2009. A recent court ruling
indicates that NDSU will have to follow DEA’s rules
and regulations of this action.
Recent investigations indicate that diversion of
hydrocodone products is taking place in North
Dakota. Typical methods of diversion are illegal
sale and distribution by health care professionals
and workers, “doctor shopping” (going to a number of
doctors to obtain prescriptions for a controlled
pharmaceutical), forged prescriptions, and the
Internet. |

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).

Center can help connect an abuse
