The state of Oklahoma 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 Oklahoma drug rehab program meets every individual's needs.  Fill out the form to the right to set up the time best to contact you.

Oklahoma Drug Use Information

According to the DEA (U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration),  cocaine continues to be readily available throughout Oklahoma. Mexican poly-drug traffickers dealing in marijuana and methamphetamine bring some of the cocaine into the state. Some of the cocaine HCl is converted into crack cocaine for sale at the retail level.

Black Tar heroin is available in limited quantities near the metropolitan areas in Oklahoma. The majority of heroin traffickers in Oklahoma receive their heroin from Mexico. Most of the heroin transported into Oklahoma is concealed in hidden compartments in passenger vehicles.

Methamphetamine from Mexico continues to be the primary drug of choice in Oklahoma, particularly the solid form (crystal) of methamphetamine has become more prevalent. An increase in the amount of crystal methamphetamine has been seen over the past two years.

Marijuana is readily available in all areas of Oklahoma.

Current investigations indicate that diversion of hydrocodone products continues to be the most common drug of abuse/diversion. As indicated above, the primary methods of diversion are indiscriminate prescribing (Physicians issuing prescriptions for controlled substances without a legitimate medical need), pharmacists diverting controlled substances from pharmacies, “doctor shopping” (going to multiple physicians to obtain prescriptions for a controlled pharmaceutical), forged /falsified prescriptions, and thefts. Methadone has recently been identified as a growing abuse problem in Oklahoma.

Inhalants Abuse

Inhalant abuse refers to the intentional breathing of gas or vapors with the purpose of getting high. Inhalants are legal, everyday products that have a useful purpose, but can be intentionally misused.

Inhalant Effects:
Short-lasting euphoria, giggling, silliness, dizziness. Then come the headaches and full-blown "faintings" or going unconscious.
Long-term Use: Short-term memory loss, emotional instability, impairment of reasoning, slurred speech, clumsy staggering gait, eye flutter, tremors, hearing loss, loss of sense of smell, and escalating stages of brain atrophy. Sometimes these serious long-term effects are reversible with body detoxification and nutritional therapy; sometimes the brain damage is irreversible or only partially reversible.

Inhalants are everywhere.  People get creative and resourceful when it comes to abusing inhalants.  Common substances which are fumes are inhaled are paint, glue typewriter correction fluid, air-conditioning refrigerant, felt tip markers, spray paint, air freshener, butane and even cooking spray.
