The Need for Drug Rehab in Iowa

The Need for Drug Rehab in Iowa

Throughout the state of Iowa it has been reported that drug and alcohol abuse and addiction is on the rise.  Cocaine, marijuana, methamphetamine, ecstasy, heroin and pharmaceutical drugs are readily available throughout the state and continue to be a problem for all residents.  Residents in Iowa are in desperate need of effective and successful drug rehab and treatment programs.  According to the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration Statistics for 2008 there were over 29.4 kilograms of cocaine, 21.0 kilograms of methamphetamine and 646.0 kilograms of marijuana seized by the federal government.  There is obviously a major drug problem in the state of Iowa and many people are struggling with addiction.  
 
During 2008, there were 23,225 admissions to drug and alcohol treatment in Iowa according to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration.  According to the National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH) data, approximately 47,000 Iowa citizens reported needing but not receiving treatment for illicit drug use within the past year.  Many citizens haven’t been able to find successful and effective treatment options and have given up hope that they can be helped.  Due to these increasingly soaring statistics it is obvious that the state of Iowa is in desperate need of proven and successful drug rehab treatment immediately.  
 
Throughout the state of Iowa it has been reported that drug and alcohol abuse and addiction is on the rise.  Cocaine, marijuana, methamphetamine, ecstasy, heroin and pharmaceutical drugs are readily available throughout the state and continue to be a problem for all residents. Many tend to believe that drug courts are the answer to solving these problems but statistics have consistently shown that no real progress or results are being made.  The only real solution to this epidemic is effective, proven and successful long-term in-patient residential drug rehab. According to the Office of Justice Programs Drug Court Clearinghouse and Technical Assistance Project, as of July 14, 2009, there were 8 drug courts in Iowa which had been operating for at least two years and 5 that had recently been implemented.  There are answers and solutions readily available to the residents of Iowa.
