The state of Vermont 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.

Vermont Drug Use Information

According to the DEA (U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration), There is availability of heroin in the state in street/user level quantities. A typical heroin distributor in Vermont is a heroin user who distributes the drug in order to support his/her heroin addiction. Heroin is obtained by individuals who travel to source areas in Massachusetts, Connecticut and New York. The most common method of transport of heroin between Vermont and source areas is the use of automobiles.

Cocaine is readily available throughout Vermont and is widely abused by illicit drug users. The drug is available in all quantities from fractional ounces to kilogram quantities. Cocaine traffickers in Vermont, most often Caucasians, obtain the drug from source areas in Massachusetts, Connecticut, New Jersey, New York and the Southwestern U.S.

Marijuana is readily available in all areas of Vermont, and it is the drug of choice for illicit drug users. Marijuana is brought into Vermont from the southwestern U.S. through the use of automobiles, campers, and tractor-trailers. Another significant source area for marijuana in the state is Canada.

Current investigations indicate that diversion of oxycodone products such as OxyContin® continues to be a problem in Vermont. Also, recent investigations have revealed that violators often travel from New York to Vermont with several thousand diverted OxyContin® pills for distribution. Methods of diversion being reported 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, employee theft, pharmacy theft, and the Internet. Methadone and Vicodin® were also identified as being among the most commonly abused and diverted pharmaceuticals in Vermont.

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

Drinking heavily over a short period of time usually results in a "hangover" - headache, nausea, shakiness, and sometimes vomiting, beginning from 8 to 12 hours later. A hangover is due partly to poisoning by alcohol and other components of the drink, and partly to the body's reaction to withdrawal from alcohol.  Furthermore, People who drink on a regular basis become tolerant to many of the unpleasant effects of alcohol, and thus are able to drink more before suffering these effects.
