Oregon does have a drug abuse problem ; however, the entire United States and Canada can blame Oregon for illicit drug traffic as well as Oregon can blame California and Canada for some of their drug abuse problems. Recent studies have shown that controlled drugs have been smuggled through Oregon to other eastern states. A highly potent marijuana as well as MDMA has been smuggled into Oregon from Canada destined for other US cities across the nation.
Methamphetamine is the major drug abuse problem in Oregon; however, this is not the only drug that is causing individuals to seek help from drug rehab or alcohol treatment centers. The other drugs that are causing problems include binge drinking, marijuana, heroine, cocaine, and club drugs like MDMA also known as Ecstasy. Prices for meth and cocaine increased to about double in 2007 due to enforcement operation in Mexico and the US, which aided in stopping the supply.
Throughout the US, pharmaceutical drug abuse is fast becoming a major problem. As a matter of fact is the second most abused drug by children and teenagers. Many of these drugs in Oregon are found in parents medicine cabinets, are illegally dispensed by physicians, illegally prescribed by physicians, illegal distribution by pharmacists, prescription forgery, doctor shopping, and drug thefts from pharmacies, nursing homes, and hospitals. The major drug abuse problem in the state with pharmaceuticals includes OxyContin, Percocet, Percodan, Vicodin, Lortab, and anabolic steroids.
In a press release published on July 13, 2009 the astonishing news that a study by the Oregon Department of Human Services revealed that prescription pain killers are now the second drug of choice in the state of Oregon just behind marijuana. This study went on to show the youth are using prescription drugs illegally and has placed cocaine, meth, and heroin lower down the list of abused drugs.
Rehab centers in Oregon are equipped to deal with all kinds of addictions whether it is a controlled substance, prescription drugs, or alcohol. In 2006, there were close to 225 alcohol and drug treatment centers in the state. With about 70 physicians licensed to administer buprenorphine, which aids in the treatment of opiate withdraw symptoms. Many people believe that drug abuse treatment centers and alcohol rehabilitation centers are something they cannot afford. This is very far from the truth. Many of the treatment centers actually receive funding to help individuals with any income. For Native Americans, at the time of this writing, tribal authorities own nine drug and alcohol treatment centers.
All the drug rehab and alcohol treatment centers work with the whole person in the majority of cases, meaning these facilities do not only help you rid your life of the addiction but work with you until you can live life without that drink in your hand, or running off to snort, inject, or swallow a pill. Whether you need an outpatient treatment center or residential treatment care, you will be able to find the perfect treatment for your drug abuse or alcohol abuse.
