The state of West Virginia 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.

West Virginia Drug Use Information

According to the DEA (U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration), both imported and domestic, locally-cultivated marijuana pose a serious drug threat in West Virginia. Although the state ranks 37th in population in the U.S., in 2008 West Virginia ranked in the top five states for marijuana eradication. West Virginia commonly serves as a source area for domestic marijuana.

Heroin abuse in the central and northern parts of West Virginia increased during 2008. Enclaves of long-term heroin addicts rely on one another to procure supplies of heroin from secondary source cities such as Philadelphia and Baltimore. The heroin sold in West Virginia typically retains the street/brand name and packaging of the Philadelphia or Baltimore-area supplier.

Cocaine hydrochloride and crack cocaine are widely available in most West Virginia cities. Crack cocaine abuse generally remains confined to low and low-middle income individuals, but crosses all ethnic lines. Rural communities have been drastically affected by crack distribution and accompanying violence. Cocaine availability is limited to large-retail or small-wholesale quantities. Source areas for cocaine are more varied than for other drugs consumed in the state and are largely based on the trafficker's location within West Virginia.

Current investigations indicate that diversion of oxycodone and hydrocodone products, as well as methadone and Alprazolam, continues to be a problem in West Virginia. Primary 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), employee theft, forged prescriptions, and the Internet. Suboxone and Carisoprodol were identified as being new drugs of pharmaceutical abuse in West Virginia. West Virginia leads the nation in methadone-related deaths per capita, and has the fastest-growing rate of methadone overdoses.

Drug Related Statistics from the White House Drug Policy for the State of West Virginia
 

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.
