What are the odds in Nebraska?

The Southwest Nebraska News reports that in the past five years there has been a 132% increase in number of Nebraskan citizens receiving services to handle substance abuse. The number of people who have undergone treatment in a drug rehab program has gone from 11,533 to 26,720.


ALMOST 10% OF THE POPULATION ABUSED OR DEPENDED UPON ALCOHOL IN THE PAST YEAR.

While there is evidence that the occasional glass of wine or alcoholic drink can be beneficial, abusing or depending upon alcohol is quite another matter.

10% may seem like a small percentage, but look around you. One in every ten people you meet has a problem with alcohol dependency or abuse. If you step into an elevator and there are nine other people in there with you, one of them is likely to be an alcoholic. It applies to 10% of the people you work with. In Nebraska it adds up to 170,000 people.

That's a tremendous number of people destroying their lives and affecting the lives of those around them because of their dependency on alcohol. And the statistic is rising. In 2010, the projected amount of people to be abusing or depending upon alcohol is 193,000. That's 11,000 more every couple years.

When the stats show one in ten has a problem with alcohol, odds are that you know someone, or know a friend of a friend, who is battling an addiction to alcohol or drugs. If you want to make a difference, then you need take action now and get them professional help. Put their family in touch with a professional drug or alcohol counselor who understands what they are going through.

Getting intoxicated on a regular basis is not something that should be admired in one's peers. It is in fact a red flag that something is wrong and that the person is in need of help.

When do I need alcohol detox instead of alcohol rehab?

If you are a heavy drinker or a binge drinker, alcohol detox may be the first step to achieving sobriety. Quitting alcohol abruptly can be extremely painful, and medically dangerous. Your safest step, and one you should consider taking, is alcohol detox.

Prescription drug detox and drug rehab in Nebraska is also needed

In addition to the problem with alcohol, another 170,000 people, or 10% of the population, may have developed prescription drug addiction or dependency.

If you have been injured or have had an operation and find your self unable to quit the painkillers you were prescribed, then call Drug Rehab Referral to find a good drug detox for your prescription drug problem.

Some people with a prescription drug addiction or dependency didn't get started with a prescription from their doctor. They were given it by their friends or took it from their parents or others' medicine cabinets. Oxycontin is the drug of choice for people abusing prescription drugs in Nebraska and it is very difficult to stop taking. Some people think it's harder then heroin.

No matter how you started taking prescription painkillers or other prescription drugs, you can become dependent on them easily and quickly - in a matter of days or a few short weeks - and they are highly addictive.

If you think you may have developed a prescription drug addiction or dependency, we can also help you find a drug rehab program to follow up your drug detox.

Don't wait to hear that your friend or family member is in the emergency room for an overdose or a car accident, is in jail, has lost their job, or worse.

Waiting can end up in tragedy. Help them now.
