What are the Odds in Montana?

Montana, The State Of The Great Outdoors, Is Home To More Than Wildlife.

Montana has, arguably the worst drug and alcohol situation in the entire US.

When most people think of Montana they think of open spaces, clean living and traditional values. Yet is has been labeled as one of the worst states for drug and alcohol abuse.

This title is not an easy thing to acquire, as the state with the "best" drug and alcohol problem is by no means perfect or ideal. To be labeled the worst state, or in the top three, concerning substance abuse, is certainly cause for alarm for Montana residents..

What statistics make Montana one of the worst in the US?

35% OF MONTANA YOUTH (AGE 12-20) DRANK ALCOHOL IN THE PAST MONTH

That stat shows only the past month. In the past year, that percentage can be estimated to increase tremendously.

28% OF THE MONTANA POPULATION PERFORMED BINGE DRINKING IN THE PAST MONTH

The definition of binge drinking from one dictionary states: the consumption of dangerously large quantities of alcoholic beverages in one session. This means that almost 30% of Montana's citizens are dangerously drinking alcohol.

ALMOST 10% USED ILLICIT DRUGS IN THE PAST MONTH

That means that 90,000 people are using illegal drugs each month. With 90,000 people using illegal drugs each month, it's too hard to imagine that your family members have not come in contact with someone using drugs on a regular basis.

18% OF MONTANA YOUTH (AGE 12-17) USED MARIJUANA IN THE PAST YEAR

In your twelve year-old son's class, there are roughly 4-6 people who use marijuana each month.

Are those the people you want your son or daughter associated with?

The list of drug and alcohol abuse in Montana goes on and on - cocaine use, non-medicinal uses of painkillers, dependence on alcohol/illicit drugs, first time marijuana users, etc.

Abuse of prescription drugs has skyrocketed throughout the state over the past ten years bringing tragedy and pain to families throughout the region.

And addiction to illicit and prescription drugs is taking the lives of Montana's young folk – KLUR reported this week on the death of young Jenny Kramer who became addicted to prescription painkillers.

The only way to reverse this trend and bring back to Montana the beauty and honor of this great state, is for all residents to decide to do something about it.
