What are the Odds in Charleston, South Carolina?

Charleston, like the rest of the state, has serious alcohol abuse and drug problems.

• The number of people going into alcohol rehab in South Carolina drug and alcohol rehab facilities is higher than it's been in eight years.
• Nearly 4,000 people went into South Carolina drug rehab centers for cocaine. Another 6,000 were admitted who were taking other drugs or suffering from alcohol abuse and also taking cocaine.
• Nearly 7,000 sought treatment for marijuana as their primary drug problem.
• Just under 900 were in South Carolina drug rehab programs for methamphetamine as their primary drug.
• Over 3,300 needed help for a problem with opiates like heroin, methadone and OxyContin.
• About 2,000 entered South Carolina drug rehab treatment for other drugs such as barbiturates, other sedatives or hypnotics, amphetamines, stimulants, hallucinogens, inhalants, over the counter drugs, benzodiazepine and other tranquilizers and/or PCP.

Getting Help for Prescription Drug Addiction

Prescription drug addiction, dependency and abuse is very common in Charleston, South Carolina. Drug rehab facilities can help with a prescription drug problem, but not all of them.

Dealing with prescription drugs can be even harder than heroin, cocaine, methamphetamine and other drug problems, including alcohol.

Some people get addicted to prescription drugs quite innocently: they are given the drugs by their doctor when they're sick or have been injured or had surgery, then can't stop.

If you have a problem with OxyContin addiction, benzodiazapene addiction, or other prescription drugs, we can help you.

We will help you find a Charleston, South Carolina drug rehab that knows what to do about prescription drug addiction.

Whether your problem is with alcohol abuse, prescription drug addiction or with other drugs, we can help you.

South Carolina has a serious drug problem and it reaches all the way into the state government - former Treasurer, Thomas Ravenal, pled guilty to possession of cocaine and intent to distribute. Ravenal admitted to purchasing the cocaine from several quarters and used the drug as often as once a week. He resigned his position as Treasurer on July 24, 2007 and pled guilty on September 6, 2007. It is therefore in question whether he consumed the drug during his term of office.

Who else in South Carolina is using cocaine?

Over 80,000 PEOPLE

In a college classroom, you will find (by statistics) about 3 people using cocaine. That means if your son or daughter is attending college, or is in that college age band, then he/she is definitely exposed to the perils of cocaine use and abuse.

And besides cocaine in South Carolina, there are other drugs that are causing damage in that state.

10% OF THE POPULATION SMOKED MARIJUANA IN THE PAST YEAR.

8% DEPENDED UPON OR ABUSED ALCOHOL IN THE PAST YEAR.

5% USED PAIN RELIEVERS FOR NON-MEDICINAL PURPOSES IN THE PAST YEAR.

From the above stats alone, it is plainly shown that South Carolina is not the "Pleasantville" that it's often depicted to be.

And in the majority of South Carolina drug statistic categories, the numbers are getting worse. What can be done about it? Parents and friends of addicted individuals have to honestly confront the problem and help him/her deal with their addiction.

Alcohol Rehab in South Carolina Will Help the Alcohol Problem

Heavy drinking and binge drinking is part of the culture for 27% of the people in South Carolina. Heavy drinkers and binge drinkers should use a medical alcohol detox facility to stop drinking if it has gone on for a long time. Alcohol detox before a rehab program is the first step to sobriety for someone with alcohol addiction.

If you need help with alcohol abuse or addiction, call Drug Rehab Referral to find out about alcohol detox and alcohol rehab.

Drug Detox and Drug Rehab May Also Be Needed for Prescription Drugs

Prescription drug addiction and dependency is also prevalent in South Carolina, and the list of drugs is long. Addiction, dependency and abuse are not uncommon with prescription painkillers such as OxyContin, Vicodin and methadone. And there are also problems with Valium, Xanax and other drugs.

It's hard to get off these drugs, and it can be dangerous. If you've become dependent or addicted - and that can happen in a matter of weeks - you may need a prescription drug detox program to get off them safely.

Although not given out by prescription, heroin is also on that list - not only it is used by people who've never taken prescription drugs, it is also the drug people turn to when they've become dependant on or addicted to prescription painkillers after their prescription has run out. When the withdrawal symptoms start to kick in, people taking prescription painkillers need whatever they can get to stop those symptoms. As heroin is very similar to OxyContin and other prescription painkillers, and less expensive and more readily available, that's often where they turn.

Whether you became addicted to or dependant on prescription drugs through an accident or injury, or whether you've gotten them from friends, family or drug dealers, we can help you get off them.

At Drug Rehab Referral we believe a drug detox program may be your best choice as a first step. And if you've become addicted, drug rehab will be next.

If you need help with prescription drug addiction or dependency, contact Drug Rehab Referral today. We can answer all your questions and tell you whether drug detox is advisable, and whether it will need to be followed with drug rehab.
