Kentucky
Teen Drug and Alcohol Abuse Facts
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Press Release)
October, 2010 --
We have all been told at one point or another that drugs are
dangerous. That they have physical side effects, including
death. Well Kentucky has been deemed the
nation’s state with the highest amount of drug related
deaths. The large amount of drug related deaths due to drug
abuse are from all age groups including a mother
of four, a student and local teens. The drug
deaths are not just from poor or uneducated communities it
is state wide affecting all types of people.
Research shows that drug abuse and addiction in Kentucky
is higher than any other state. One study reported that the
residents of the state of Kentucky use more than double the
nation’s average of Hydrocodone, which
is usually a prescription drug. Teens report that family members
are their source for supply of drugs. Kentucky was also ranked
one of the top ten states with the highest nonmedical use
of prescription pain relievers for ages twelve
and older. According to the medical reports, the drugs most
common in the drug related deaths were: Methadone,
Oxycodone, Hydrocodone, Valium, and Xanex. Local
officials say that when the families try to deal with the
problem in private, they end up becoming an enabler of the
addiction. Providing funds, shelter, actually fuels the addiction
cycle and does not make the user take accountability. Drug
abuse and drug related deaths are such an issue because
as the trend increases, the cost of patient treatment increases
and is passed on to tax payers, courts, law enforcement, and
jails.
If you or someone you know is struggling with prescription
drug abuse or addiction and is in need of help, Inspirations
Teen Rehab offers a flexible and affordable teen
addiction treatment program. Our aim is to treat
the whole person, and not just an isolated symptom. During
the addiction treatment process we will work
with the teen to identify the factors that may have contributed
to the prescription drug abuse and addiction
– home, friends and medical history. We also believe
that families have a vital role to play in the recovery process,
and each addiction treatment program has a place for family
participation, to educate them in the treatment process and
to equip them for their role as supporters.
Reach out to us. Recovery from addiction is just a click or a phone
call away. If the information you are looking for is not found here and you
