What are the odds Hawaii?

If you live in Hawaii it's a fairly safe bet that you've been touched by the drug epidemic that's sweeping the islands.

From broken homes and families to increased property and street crime, its impact has been severe. Crystal methamphetamine, commonly referred to as ice or meth, is the drug of choice in Hawaii and is considered the most significant drug threat to the state.

But just how bad is it?

• 40% of male arrestees and 57% of female arrestees tested positive for methamphetamine, the highest rate in the nation

• Roughly 50% of all emergency room visits are methamphetamine connected

• 90% of Child Protective Service cases where children are removed from the home are connected to methamphetamine

• 46% of 12th graders use an illicit drug

• 73% percent drink alcohol

• 44% were binge drinkers

• 20% use illicit drugs

• 18 % used marijuana

• 8% used prescription drugs for non medical use

Not surprisingly, 8% had been suspended from school, 19% had been drunk while at school, 9% sold illegal drugs, 4% tried or stole a vehicle, 8% percent had been arrested, 12% attacked someone with the intention to harm, and 4% carried a handgun.

Not a healthy picture – and if you have kids in school in Hawaii this has to be high on your list of concerns. You send them off to school to be educated and they are in a classroom where almost half the kids are binge drinking and one in five is on drugs!

And the real killer is that 24% have a dependence on illicit drugs or alcohol and need treatment, but haven't received it.

Alcohol Rehab for Hawaiians

In the high schools in Hawaii forty four percent of the students binge drink, and the adult population is not much better. If you want to stop drinking and you are a heavy drinker, the best first step might be alcohol detox before going to an alcohol rehab program.

Prescription Drug Detox and Drug Rehab in Hawaii

The most commonly abused prescription drug in Hawaii is the painkiller hydrocodone. Many people who take prescription painkillers for injuries or operations end up dependent on those drugs and find it difficult to stop taking them. In some cases, people also become addicted. When they can no longer get the prescription drug they sometimes switch to heroin because it is cheaper.

However, although prescription painkillers may be the biggest problem, they are not the only prescription drugs being abused in Hawaii.

If you are dependent on or addicted to any prescription drug you should enter a prescription drug detox program first and then, if necessary, go on to a drug rehab.

If you have any problems with prescription drug addiction or dependency, Drug Rehab Referral can help you determine whether you need drug detox, and whether you'll need to follow it up with drug rehab.
