What are the odds in Alachua County?

Being around Gainesville and the University of Florida has added to the problems with drugs and alcohol in Alachua County.

Prescription drugs like Ritalin and Adderall are used by 15,000 students as ‘study aids.' Students take them because they make them more alert - which is the case with all speed - but they are also very dangerous and highly addictive.

Some schools are even looking at offering drug rehab in Florida, as well as in other states.

When those drugs are around, they also find their way into the general population. Consequently, college-aged kids take them whether they're in school or working.

Other prescription drugs are also a problem. OxyContin and Vicodin are widely abused throughout Florida, as are Xanax and Valium.

Not all facilities that offer drug rehab in Florida, or in other states, are experienced with prescription drug addiction. So, if prescription drugs are the problem, you have to make sure you choose the right center.

One of the worst problems with prescription drugs is that addicts often turn to heroin. Once the doctor will no longer prescribe the drugs for their patients, the patients can't afford to buy them on the street. Instead, they turn to heroin - which is much less expensive. Centers for drug rehab in Florida can help with heroin, too. Better still, get help before it gets to that point.

What are the other alcohol and drug problems in Alachua County?

�

• By the time kids are 10 years old, one in three have tried alcohol.

�

• About 10% of those kids have also tried inhalants.

�

• Starting this early means they will likely continue to drink or take different kinds of drugs - marijuana, cocaine, methamphetamine, heroin, and prescription drugs.

�

• In fact, once they get to their last year of high school, they've tried just about everything. Some facilities that offer drug rehab in Florida can also help kids.

But the problems aren't just in schools by a long shot. Drug addiction affects everyone - from student to housewife, from laborer to professional.

No matter what the drug or walk of life, centers that offer drug rehab in Florida can help.

Drugs and Seniors

When you think about drug addicts, you don't usually think of seniors. But about 20% of seniors in Florida are probably dependant on or addicted to their medications - sleeping pills, pain pills, anti-anxiety drugs; they're all addictive, and they're all hard to quit on your own.

Seniors are often too embarrassed to tell anyone they have a problem. It's up to you to find out if you parents or grandparents are addicted to prescription drugs and get them help.

If you need help with anyone with an alcohol or drug problem, there are many facilities that offer alcohol and drug rehab in Florida. One of them is right for your situation.
