Ohio Alcohol And Drug Rehab Centers

Drug Abuse and Addiction in Ohio

The great state of Ohio is where 11.5 million people from all walks of life live. From gridirons to nine irons with baseball bats and hockey pucks in between, there are plenty of opportunities to enjoy professional sports throughout Ohio. Then Mother Nature adds her two cents with stunning lakes, streams, waterfalls, and other examples of her finest work. Whether in Cleveland, Toledo, Cincinnati, Columbus, Shaker Heights, or somewhere else in the Buckeye state, it’s a great place to raise a family.

Despite the nearly idyllic location for four-season living and great devotion to family experienced throughout the state, Ohio is not perfect. Alcohol and drugs are continuing to find their way into homes across the state in a way that ravages families and leaves those who are addicted, as well as those who love them, feeling ravaged and raw.

DrugRehab.org understands how difficult it can be to go through this experience and find the right help at the right time. In 2006, there were 424 different treatment facilities offering care and treatment for alcohol and/or drug addiction in the state of Ohio. That’s a lot of information to sift through at a critical point in life. We can help you sort through the details to find the right Ohio drug rehab treatment facility for your needs.

Ohio Drug Abuse Statistics

While the picture isn’t as bad as it is for other states, Ohio remains quite grim while it sits above the national average for drug-induced deaths. The number of deaths directly related to drug use in Ohio for 2007 is 1,691. Only 1,399 died in vehicle accidents and 1,105 died as a result of firearms that same year.

Marijuana is the drug most commonly cited for substance abuse treatment in Ohio, almost doubling treatment admissions for heroin and other opiates and more than doubling treatment admissions to overcome addiction to cocaine.

Drug and alcohol abuse is such a problem on college campuses in Ohio that Ohio State University has created the ATOD (Alcohol, Tobacco, and Other Drugs) Comprehensive Prevention Plan to address the issue.

Drug and Alcohol Related Crimes in Ohio

Meth lab seizures in Ohio are on the rise once again; after a low of 230 DEA meth lab seizures in 2007, 2012 saw a massive increase to 634 seizures. Ohio ranks 27th in the nation when it comes to violent crimes with 350 instances of violent crime for every 100,000 people.

Addiction Treatment in Ohio

With nearly 500 different Ohio substance abuse treatment programs available, the odds are good that there is one to meet your unique treatment needs. Study after study has indicated that the longer one remains in treatment for substance abuse addiction, the greater the odds of a successful recovery are. Four months is the standard minimum for successful treatment.

The question now, is whether it’s best to choose residential drug rehab treatment centers or outpatient rehab. Each offers its own unique strengths and benefits to consider. We can help you work out which one is the best match for your all around needs.

Residential facilities offer distance from stress, influences, and other triggers that may tempt you to use drugs once again. You also receive 24-7 access to personal attention and medical care. Additionally, you don’t need to worry about transportation and getting to your therapy sessions on time.

Outpatient treatment options allow greater flexibility so that you don’t have to give up your job, take time off, or find someone else to care for your family while you’re in treatment. You get a greater degree of privacy as no one needs to know you’re even going through treatment for addiction. Finally, it’s the more affordable option for people with little insurance or who have insurance companies that cover a higher percentage of costs for outpatient care than residential treatment options.
