Kentucky Drug Rehab Programs

There are a several Kentucky drug rehabilitation programs which provide drug rehabilitation services for adults and adolescents. One would think it can’t possibly be that difficult to find the best drug rehab program, but you may be surprised. There seem to be as many drug rehab program philosophies as there are drug rehabs and alcohol rehabs. For example, some Kentucky drug rehabs may not have their own drug detox program and have to refer out for this addiction treatment service. It is critical to discuss this aspect of a drug rehab program with intake staff, as it can make a substantial difference in the effectiveness of a person’s addiction treatment. Secondly, drug rehabs and alcohol rehabs in Kentucky might specialize in treating specific populations such as drug rehabs that specialize in dual diagnosis treatment or a Kentucky drug rehab program focused on providing treatment for the LGBT community.

It can be a challenging experience to try and decide which Kentucky drug rehabilitation or alcohol rehabilitation program is best for you. Recovery Connection's® staff is experienced in matching your drug rehab needs with a drug rehab program capable of meeting them. Not every Kentucky drug rehab program is right for you. With our vast knowledge of the addiction treatment services each drug rehab program provides, you will feel more comfortable with your choice. Call us toll free at 1-800-993-3869 and allow us locate a drug rehabilitation program that will make a difference in your life.

Kentucky Alcohol Rehab Programs

Alcoholism, alcohol dependency and alcohol addiction all fall into the same category. Alcohol is physically addicting and can have devastating effects on a person’s family, employment, health, finances and emotional well being. Due to the physical addiction associated with alcoholism, we urge you to enter an alcohol detox program before discontinuing your use of alcohol to minimize any alcohol withdrawal symptoms. At a minimum, please consult with a physician working in an alcohol detox for guidance in this matter.

Kentucky alcohol rehab programs differ in the actual alcohol rehab services they provide and the patients the alcohol rehab program treats. There are federally funded alcohol rehab programs in Kentucky for those people that are financially challenged, alcohol rehabilitation programs in Kentucky for adults and adolescents and Kentucky alcohol rehabs for those persons with private insurance and an ability to pay for a private alcohol rehabilitation program.

For someone not involved in the alcoholism treatment arena, knowing how to differentiate between Kentucky alcohol rehabs can be quite difficult. It is important to find out whether the alcohol rehabilitation program you are looking at has its own alcohol detox program, whether the Kentucky alcohol rehabilitation program has a comprehensive family program and which specific addiction treatment needs the alcohol rehab program can meet. An example would be whether the alcohol rehab has a comprehensive dual diagnosis treatment component, provides eating disorder treatment or whether the Kentucky alcohol rehab is gay friendly for the LGBT population.

Recovery Connection® has a referral staff that has been trained to evaluate your alcohol rehabilitation needs and match them with the alcoholism treatment services provided at the Kentucky alcohol rehab program. To locate safe and effective alcohol rehab services in Kentucky or in any other state, call 1-800-993-3869.

 Kentucky Drug Rehabs for the Gay Community

While a person who is gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgender (GLBT) can receive addiction treatment or alcohol rehabilitation treatment in any Kentucky alcohol rehab program or Kentucky drug rehab program, not all drug rehabs or alcohol rehabs in Kentucky are designed to meet the needs of the LGBT community. More to the point, there are not many Kentucky drug rehabs or alcohol rehabs in Kentucky that have addiction treatment staff trained in how to deal with issues such as coming out, internalized homophobia or homophobia.

An effective gay drug rehab in Kentucky, gay alcohol rehab in Kentucky or gay friendly drug rehabilitation in Kentucky should have as a minimum; addiction treatment groups specific to the LGBT population, an addiction treatment staff trained in the issues surrounding the gay population and addiction treatment staff that has dealt with their own homophobic issues. It is important that any Kentucky drug rehab or Kentucky alcohol treatment program that claims to treat the LGBT community provide them with a safe setting in which to recover.

To locate a gay friendly drug rehab or gay friendly alcohol rehabilitation program you can call 1-800-993-3869 and our referral coordinators can locate an addiction treatment program to meet your specific addiction treatment needs.

Kentucky Drug Abuse and Kentucky Alcohol Abuse

Marijuana, methamphetamine, diverted pharmaceutical drugs, and cocaine are the primary drug threats in the state of Kentucky. The eastern Kentucky region, especially the Daniel Boone National Forest, is a primary source of domestic grown marijuana. In 2006, 557,276 marijuana plants were eradicated in Kentucky, according to the Domestic Cannabis Eradication/Suppression Program. Though Kentucky is the site of large-scale marijuana cultivation, most of the marijuana produced in the state is exported to metropolitan areas in Illinois, Ohio, New York, Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Pennsylvania, Maryland, North Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia and Washington D.C. Methamphetamine remains a serious threat throughout Kentucky. Though methamphetamine manufacturing activity in Kentucky has decreased, the supply of methamphetamine is supported by an increase in the distribution of ice methamphetamine by Mexican drug trafficking organizations. Cocaine remains readily available in Kentucky. Limited competition in remote areas makes the small communities of eastern Kentucky popular and profitable for cocaine trafficking organizations from major metropolitan areas and the Southwest Border. Urban areas such as Lexington and Louisville are used as transshipment points for multi-kilogram amounts of cocaine en route from the southwest border to markets in Kentucky and the northeastern United States. Lastly, several counties in rural eastern Kentucky lead the nation in terms of grams of narcotic pain medications distributed on a per capita basis. Aside from marijuana cultivation and trafficking, the trafficking and illicit use of prescription drugs in the area is the most significant drug threat facing the residents of rural eastern Kentucky.

Cocaine Addiction and Cocaine Addiction Treatment:

Cocaine HCl is readily available throughout Kentucky. The highest levels availability is in the urban areas. African American, Hispanic, and Colombian drug trafficking organizations are the primary urban traffickers. Caucasian and African-American traffickers are the primary traffickers in rural areas. Source areas for cocaine destined for Kentucky are the Southwest Border of the U.S., northern Georgia, Illinois, Ohio and Minnesota. The price and purity of cocaine has remained relatively stable in Kentucky for the past several years. Gram quantities continue sell for $100-$150, ounce quantities for $700-$1,200, and kilograms for $16,000-$28,000. Cocaine purchased and seized in urban areas consistently tests in the 40 to 90 percent purity range. Most people suffering from cocaine addiction require a residential addiction treatment program after completing their drug detox program. Get cocaine addiction treatment NOW!

Heroin Addiction and Heroin Addiction Treatment:

The presence of heroin in Kentucky is limited but sources indicate there is a low demand for small amounts in some areas of southeastern and northern Kentucky, as well as the Louisville area. When encountered, heroin has usually been found in user amounts, with the sources either Cincinnati Ohio, Detroit Michigan or parts of Minnesota. However, recent enforcement operations have indicated that Mexican drug trafficking organizations are attempting to widen the heroin market in the state, particularly in the Louisville, Kentucky area. Recent seizures in the Louisville region have totaled over three pounds of Mexican heroin. Kentucky addiction treatment programs that are treating heroin addiction should have a drug detox program as heroin is a physically addicting drug. Get heroin addiction treatment NOW!

Methamphetamine Addiction and Crystal Meth Addiction Treatment:

Methamphetamine continues to be available in Kentucky, especially in the rural areas of the state. Kentucky methamphetamine production has decreased significantly over the 2004 – 2006 timeframe. There are two reasons for the drop in clandestine laboratory activity. One is the increasing distribution and abuse of ice methamphetamine by Mexican/Mexican-American drug trafficking organizations. The ice is produced at super labs in Mexico and superior in quality to locally produced methamphetamine. Secondly, and likely the primary reason for the decrease production, is that during the 1Q of 2005 the Kentucky Legislature passed and enacted legislation targeting the distribution of precursor chemicals, specifically over-the-counter products containing pseudoephedrine and ephedrine. These laws made it more difficult for local methamphetamine producers to obtain these products by limiting purchase amounts, requiring identification, and creating a paper trail. Methamphetamine lab seizures in Kentucky decreased from 604 in 2004 to 200 in 2006 (as of 9-5-2006). Get methamphetamine addiction treatment NOW!

Ecstasy Addiction and Ecstasy Addiction Treatment:

LSD and Ecstasy are primarily used by teenagers and young adults in the cities with colleges and universities such as Lexington, Louisville, Richmond, and Morehead. The largest suppliers of MDMA (ecstasy) in the Lexington area are white, middle-class males, 25-35 YOA, who operate in a well-organized manner. They transport MDMA via U.S. Mail from Miami Florida, Cincinnati Ohio, Atlanta Georgia, and Los Angeles California. They distribute MDMA to users in strip clubs, bars, rave parties, and other high school parties. Ketamine is distributed in nightclubs/bars. Steroids are obtained from mail order companies, doctors, veterinary supply companies and in gyms. GHB is obtained through the Internet, and from local manufacturers. Ecstasy, Ketamine, GHB, and LSD are readily available in the Lexington area.  Although ecstasy is not physically addicting, it is always wise to spend a few days in a drug detox program before entering addiction treatment. Get ecstasy addiction treatment NOW!

Marijuana Addiction and Marijuana Addiction Treatment:

Kentucky is a major source of domestically grown marijuana. In 2005, Kentucky ranked 2nd in total domestic marijuana production. The Daniel Boone National Forest, covering more than 690,000 acres of eastern Kentucky, is a preferred site for cultivators. The forestlands are remote, sparsely populated, very accessible, and possess ideal soil and climate conditions for cannabis cultivation. Additionally, National Forest, timber practices clear previously forested areas, opening up numerous areas where sunlight can reach the forest floor. Marijuana plots in the National Forest are found in various locations from bottomlands, on hillsides and up to the tops of mountains, with the deforested areas the preferred spots for growers. Marijuana growers also perceive the rural areas of the National Forest as too spacious for law enforcement officials to detect their activities. Lastly, growers often plant their crops on public lands in an effort to protect themselves from personal and/or financial loss due to asset forfeiture procedures.

In 2005, a total of 121,809 marijuana plants were eradicated from National Forest land in Kentucky. National Forest lands suffer from the collateral effects of marijuana cultivation, including property damage to natural resources, archeological sites, and wildlife, including endangered species. Marijuana producers have destroyed numerous trees, plants and fauna, as well as gates and fences, to clear cultivation sites and drive vehicles to and from the marijuana plots. The marijuana grown in Kentucky is vastly different from the marijuana abused in the past. In the 1970’s the THC content, or strength of the marijuana, fell in the 1-6% range. Mexican marijuana available in the Untied States averages 6% in THC content. Tests in 2005 showed the average THC content of eradicated marijuana in Kentucky is 15%. Far more marijuana is cultivated in Kentucky than the local market can consume. Reporting indicates marijuana grown in Kentucky is transported to the Midwest (Illinois, Ohio, Indiana, and Michigan, Minnesota) and the East Coast (North Carolina, Maryland, Virginia, Pennsylvania, New York, and Washington, D.C.)
Marijuana is not a physically addicting drug and the person does not usually require an inpatient drug detox program. Get marijuana addiction treatment NOW!

Prescription Drug Addiction and Prescription Drug Addiction Treatment:

Current investigations indicate that diversion of Oxycodone products such as OxyContin® continues to be a problem in Kentucky. Primary methods of diversion are via illegal sale and distribution by health care professionals and workers, “doctor shopping” (going to a number of doctors to obtain prescriptions for a controlled pharmaceutical), forged prescriptions, employee theft, pharmacy theft, and the Internet. Methadone and Vicodin® were also identified as being among the most commonly abused and diverted pharmaceuticals in Kentucky.  Please do not abruptly discontinue the use of prescription medication without speaking with a physician in an addiction treatment program – Get prescription drug addiction treatment NOW!
