Drug Rehab Offers Help to Thousands of Oklahomans Facing Prescription Pain Pill Addiction

Oklahoma-Prescription Drug abuse and addiction may be more common than some people may think.  It affects all walks of life no matter what the social or economic status of the individual and is currently running rampant throughout Oklahoma and the rest of the country devastating thousands of individuals and families.  

In 2009, 125 million pain pills were dispensed in Oklahoma, enough for each man, woman and child in the state to take 35 pills each. Earlier this year, former Oklahoma State University basketball coach Sean Sutton was arrested by the Oklahoma Bureau of Narcotics agents.  Coach Sutton was booked into jail on a complaint of attempting to possess controlled dangerous substances.  Sutton later admitted to having a serious pain killer addiction that had spiraled out of control.

 "Prescription drugs are easy to get and very addictive,” said Derry Hallmark, CCDC and Senior Director for Expansion for Narconon Arrowhead. “This problem has become a real epidemic in the state of Oklahoma and is something we need to do something about fast.”

Hallmark says cases like Sean Sutton's have become all to common in Oklahoma. But the problem isn’t isolated to Sutton alone – it’s the dwindling spiral that is connected with not only prescription drug addiction, but all addictions.

Every year Narconon helps thousands of addicts overcome addiction using a non-traditional approach to handling all aspects of drug abuse.
