ALABAMA (AL) DRUG REHAB

Alabama Drug Rehab and Alcohol Rehab Alabama

Drug abuse in the State of Alabama is widespread due to the availability of illegal drugs such as marijuana, methamphetamine, and designer drugs produced locally or trafficked into the area. Colombian, Mexican, and Caribbean drug trafficking organizations, regional and local drug trafficking organizations, and casual or one-time traffickers are responsible for bringing drugs into this area. Outlaw Motorcycle Gangs are also supplying methamphetamine on a very limited basis through their own distribution network.

Drug Treatment Alabama

There are several Alabama drug rehab facilities that provide assistance to addicted adults and adolescents. It is strongly recommended that individuals seeking to end their addiction to drugs undergo a medically supervised detox treatment conducted by specialized medical and psychiatric professionals before the treatment for the actual addiction starts.

Alabama addiction treatment centers often share many of the same visions and philosophies of rehabilitation, but they do vary in the treatment services that they offer. The purpose and focus of the detox program is to purge the patient’s system of the drug prior to the treatment for the addiction. Not every rehab center has on-site detox programs, nor does every rehab center offer trauma treatment or dual diagnosis. Some rehabilitation centers offer the traditional 14 to 28 day course of treatment; however, other centers offer an extended or more intensive program.  When seeking an Alabama addiction treatment center, it is always important to talk with the center about the treatment(s) available. Different treatments vary in time and cost; therefore, it is important to conduct proper research to find the right rehab program.

Alabama addiction treatment programs can vastly differ in the services they provide to their patients.  The State of Alabama does offer federally funded rehab programs for those people that are financially challenged or do not have private insurance and are unable to pay for a private rehab program.

It is important to find the best rehabilitation program that fits your needs. If you have questions or trouble making a decision about the drug rehabilitation program for you, please contact The Addiction Recovery Center. Our staff is experienced in matching your needs with the best rehab program for you. With the Watershed staff’s vast knowledge of addiction treatment services, you will feel more comfortable with your choice.

Alcohol Rehab Alabama

Alcohol abuse, or alcoholism, is a physical addiction that affects an individual’s mind, body, and spirit.  Alcoholism can rob an individual of their health, family, finances, career, friends, and even their life. Since alcohol is physically addictive, it is important for an individual wishing to end their addiction to do so under proper medical supervision in order to prevent dangerous health repercussions.

If you have questions or trouble choosing an alcohol rehabilitation program for you, please contact The Addiction Recovery Center. Our staff is experienced in matching your needs with the best rehab program for you.

Cocaine Addiction and Cocaine Addiction Treatment

Law enforcement agencies in the State of Alabama report cocaine closely behind methamphetamine as a significant threat. Cocaine is widely available throughout the state, arriving  mostly from Houston, Texas or Atlanta, Georgia. Wholesale distributors transport it into the state in its powder form, the majority of which is converted locally into crack. Drug trafficking organizations are responsible for transporting the cocaine into the state. The majority of these are Mexican drug trafficking organization and to a lesser extent African American drug trafficking organizations.

Heroin Addiction and Heroin Addiction Treatment

The presence of heroin has recently increased in the State of Alabama, particularly in the cities of Mobile, Birmingham, Montgomery, and Auburn. Rehabilitation clinics in these areas have reported an increase in the number of patients seeking help for heroin addiction.   Currently there is not substantial information on who is supplying this drug to the area.

Methamphetamine Addiction and Crystal Meth Addiction Treatment

For the second consecutive year, methamphetamine has been identified by law enforcement in the State of Alabama as the number one drug threat.  Even though local meth lab production has decreased substantially as a result of law regarding pseudoephedrine sales, it still remains the most significant drug threat in the area. With the decrease in the number of local meth labs, Mexican drug trafficking organizations increased the amount of meth brought into the area.

Ecstasy Addiction and Ecstasy Addiction Treatment

Party drugs, or synthetic drugs, such as Ecstasy, are known for their hallucinogenic and psychedelic properties. Use of these party drugs is on the rise in the State of Alabama, particularly among the younger crowd. Data indicates this increase in usage due to arrests, overdoses, and seizures of these drugs.

Synthetic drugs consist of the following: gamma-Hydroxybutyric acid (commonly known as GHB);  d-lysergic acid diethylamide (commonly known as LSD); Ketamine (commonly known as Special K); and MDMA (which is the active ingredient in Ecstasy).  These drugs are readily available throughout the state but are most commonly found on college campuses and nearby college venues.

Keeping Youth Drug Free

Talk with your child about alcohol, tobacco, and illegal drugs. Find out what they know. Explain to them that using these substances can interfere with studying and can cause grades to suffer by affecting memory and learning skills. Describe the harmful health effects of substances. Let him know how these substances can cause problems in relationships and among friends and can tear families apart. Study after study has found that parents make a difference in the choices their children make. By the time they enter preschool, most children have seen adults smoking cigarettes or drinking alcohol either in real life or in the media, or both. Children today are exposed to illegal drugs as early as elementary school, so it’s never too early to talk with your child about drugs.

Six key things you can do to help your child grow up drug free:

1. Establish and maintain good communication with your child.
2. Get involved in your child’s life.
3. Make clear rules and enforce them with consistency and appropriate consequences.
4. Be a positive role model.
5. Teach your child to choose friends wisely.
6. Monitor your child’s activities.

Parents have an incredible influence on their child’s decision whether or not to use drugs. The following facts emphasize just how much your children need your support and guidance when it comes to making positive decisions about alcohol, tobacco, and illegal drugs.

Drugs Are Everywhere

Youth drug use cuts across all ethnic, geographic, and socioeconomic lines. Youth experience pressure to use alcohol, tobacco and illegal drugs at increasingly early ages. In one survey, adolescents ages 12 to 17 named drugs—along with social and academic pressures—as the most important problem they face.

The National Survey on Drug Use and Health(NSDUH) states that:

1. Among surveyed youths, ages 12 to 17, more than 1 in 9 (11.6 percent) reported current use of illegal drugs in the 30 days before the study.
2. Marijuana is the major illegal drug used by this group; 8.2 percent of youths were current users of marijuana in 2002.
