Wyoming Drug and Alcohol Scene Making Longterm Drug Rehab Needed

Per information published by the National Substance Abuse Index, meth is the most used drug in Wyoming. The number of people arrested for meth far outnumbers the number of arrests for any other drug.

Club drug use (GHB and Ecstacy) has escalated since the year 2000 and there are now more arrests for this type of drug abuse.

Heroin is not a widely used drug in Wyoming.

Marijuana use is on the rise and most of the marijuana is coming from Mexico as well as british Columbia in Canada.

Adolescent Drug al Alcohol use in Wyoming

Statsistics published at www.hhs.giv for 2011 paints a scary picture of adolescent drug use in Wyoming.

26% of hihghscool students had tried alcohol before the age of 13 which is quite a big higher than the national average of 20%. 36% of hoghschool studnets surveyed had taken at least one alcoholic dribk in the last 30 days and 25% said that they had consumed 5 or more drinks within a few hours or within one day in the last 30 days.

26% admitted that they had driven with a driver who had consumed alcohol. That is a pretty scary statistic as shows how many people drive under the influence and then also have others in the car.

36% used marijuana at least one time. 7% have used painkillers for non-medical purposes.

The study publised at www.hhs.gov states that 5% needed to but did not receive treatment for drug abuse. 4% needed to receive treatment for alcohol and did not receive the treatment. It was not stated whether longterm drug and alcohol treatment were recommended for these youth in Wyoming.

Prescription Drug Abuse on the Rise in Wyoming

The following is a summary of informaiton published by the Star Tribune in September 2012

The Deputy Director of DCI, Kevin Haller, said that prescription drug fraud is on the rise and that prescription drug abuse is probably taking over as the most used drug in EWyoming. It had been meth. The number of arrests and investigations relating to Opiate painkillers as well as number of death from prescription drugs has taken a dangerous trend.

From 2004 - 2005 there were 5 death from prescription drugs. From 2006 - 2007 there were 28. From 2008 - 2009 there were 45 and from 2010 - 2011 69 people died from pressription drug abuse.

The increase in prescription drug abuse and reduction in meth abuse may be due to prices of meth having spiked sue to the restricted sale and distribution of cold medicine.

There are unfortunately some people from the medical areana involved. One lady reported that she had been approached by a doctor. The doctor said that hewanted to write her a prescription for painkillers. He wanted her to go to the pharmacy to get is filled and give him the pills.
