The state of Wisconsin 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.

Wisconsin Drug Use Information

According to the DEA (U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration), marijuana remains the most readily available and most widely used drug in Wisconsin. Milwaukee and Madison are both major destinations for Mexico-produced marijuana and transshipment points to other areas in the state. This is augmented by local cultivation. Particularly in the last year, Southeastern Wisconsin has experienced an increase in the number and sophistication of indoor and outdoor grow operations.

While both powder and crack cocaine have been widely obtainable in Wisconsin, analysis of confidential source (CS) information, current investigative intelligence, and price and purity data suggests that the area is experiencing a disruption in its availability.

Most heroin use is concentrated in the Milwaukee and Racine areas. The Madison area is reporting an increase in heroin trafficking and abuse. Rising levels of purity give users the option of snorting the drug rather than injecting, an option that may appeal to younger users. The mean age of heroin users is decreasing. There has been a significant increase in the number of “younger” users from outside the City of Milwaukee traveling to Milwaukee to obtain their heroin and then returning to their community in order to use it.

Current investigations indicate that diversion of hydrocodone products (such as Vicodin®), methadone and OxyContin® continues to be a problem in Wisconsin. Primary methods of diversion being reported are the 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. Benzodiazepines, Dilaudid®, and Percocet® were also identified as being among the most commonly abused and diverted pharmaceuticals in Wisconsin.

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

The life cycle of addiction begins with a problem, discomfort or some form of emotional or physical pain a person is experiencing. The person finds this very difficult to deal with. Once the person takes a drug, he feels relief from the discomfort, even though the relief is only temporary. That drink or drug is adopted as a solution to the problem and the individual places value on the substance. (complete article on the The Life Cycle and Mechanics of Addiction.)

Prescription Drug Abuse

Nearly 1 in 10 high school seniors admits to abusing powerful prescription painkillers. A shocking 40 percent of teens and an almost equal number of their parents think abusing prescription painkillers is safer than abusing "street" drugs.
