Alcohol Rehab Programs in North Carolina

Alcoholism, alcohol dependency and alcohol addiction all fall into the same category. Alcohol is physically addicting and alcoholism can have devastating effects on a person’s family, employment, health, finances and emotional well being. It is quite difficult to recover from the disease of alcoholism on one’s own, due to the alcohol withdrawal symptoms one experiences upon discontinuing alcohol use.

There are alcohol rehab programs in North Carolina which differ in alcohol rehab services and the patients the alcohol rehab program in North Carolina treat. There are federally funded alcohol rehab programs in North Carolina for those people that are financially challenged, alcohol rehab programs in North Carolina for adults and adolescents and alcohol rehab programs in North Carolina for those persons with private insurance and an ability to pay for alcohol rehab treatment.

For someone not in the alcohol treatment arena, knowing how to differentiate between one alcohol rehab program in North Carolina and another alcohol rehab program can be quite difficult. It is important to find out whether the alcohol rehab program in North Carolina you are looking at has their own alcohol detox program, whether the alcohol rehab has a comprehensive family program and which special addiction treatment needs the alcohol rehab in North Carolina meet. An example is whether the alcohol rehab in North Carolina can treat someone with a dual diagnosis, an eating disorder or whether the alcohol rehab in North Carolina is gay friendly for the GLBT population.

Drug Rehab Programs in North Carolina

There are a number of drug rehab programs in North Carolina which provide addiction treatment services for adults and adolescents. Drug rehab programs in North Carolina, may or may not include a drug detox or alcohol detox program. It is important to discuss this aspect of a drug rehab program with intake staff, as it can make a tremendous difference in a person’s addiction treatment.  Secondly, each drug rehab program and alcohol rehab program might have a different drug rehab philosophy, as each drug rehab might specialize in treating different populations. An example might be a drug rehab that specializes in the gay, lesbian and bisexual population, a drug rehab that has an effective dual diagnosis treatment program or a drug rehab program capable of treating an eating disorder. It can be a challenging experience to try and decide which drug rehab program is best for you.

Recovery Connection® can match your drug rehab needs with a drug rehab program capable of meeting them. Not every drug rehab program in North Carolina is the right one for you. With our vast knowledge of what each drug rehab program in North Carolina can provide, we can make this process much less stressful for you.

Gay Drug Rehab in North Carolina

While a person who is gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgender (GLBT) can receive addiction treatment or alcohol treatment in any alcohol rehab program in North Carolina or drug rehab program, not all drug rehab programs or alcohol rehab programs in North Carolina are designed to meet their specific needs. That is to say, that there are not many drug rehab programs or alcohol rehab programs in North Carolina that have addiction treatment staff trained in how to deal with issues such as “coming out”, internalized homophobia, homophobia, gay relationships or any other issues pertinent to the GLBT community. For a gay man or woman in North Carolina, secure in their sexuality, it might not make a difference, but for the vast majority of gay men and women, a gay friendly drug rehab in North Carolina or gay alcohol rehab in North Carolina, might mean the difference between recovery and relapse.

An effective gay drug rehab in North Carolina, gay alcohol rehab in North Carolina or gay friendly drug rehab in North Carolina should have as a minimum, addiction treatment groups specific to the GLBT population, an addiction treatment staff trained in the attitudes and issues surrounding the GLBT population, an addiction treatment staff that has dealt with any homophobic issues they might have and a passion to treat the GLBT community. It is important that any drug rehab or addiction treatment program in North Carolina that claims to treat the GLBT community, provide them with a safe setting in which to deal with issues that concern the heterosexual population.

To locate a gay friendly drug rehab in North Carolina or gay friendly alcohol rehab in North Carolina, you can call Recovery Connection® at 1-800-993-3869.

Drug Abuse and Alcohol Abuse in North Carolina

Over the past several years, North Carolina has experienced a significant increase in drug trafficking activity. The majority of the increased drug trafficking activity is due to the influx of Mexican nationals into the state. According to the most recent Census (2000), North Carolina is the 11 th most populated state and has the ninth fastest growing population in the nation. One of the factors fueling the population growth is the high rate of Hispanic migration to the state. North Carolina led the nation in Hispanic growth from 1990 to 2000, with a growth rate of 394%. The Hispanic growth rate was anchored by a 655% increase in the Mexican population. The Mexican population had traditionally been a migrant population that worked in the agriculture-based industries of North Carolina, but now is a permanent segment of the population, capitalizing on the many job opportunities available in the state. While the majority of immigrants are not involved in drug trafficking, their presence allows traffickers from Mexico to hide within the Mexican communities. The Mexican drug traffickers most commonly transport and distribute cocaine, marijuana, and methamphetamine.

Cocaine:

North Carolina is a destination state for cocaine, as well as a staging and transshipment point to the more northern states along the Eastern Seaboard and in the mid-west, including Virginia, West Virginia, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and New York. Cocaine is readily available and major traffickers take advantage of the state's interstate highways, which are major transshipment routes for cocaine being transported from source areas to other states. These major source areas are California, Arizona and Texas, with major sources of supply being traffickers based in Mexico. Cocaine is usually shipped in private or rental vehicles. Cocaine loads transported into North Carolina by Mexican organizations are used to supply crack distribution networks that further present an enormous social threat to North Carolina's inner city communities.

Heroin:

Heroin use and availability is extremely low in North Carolina. Many areas of the state, such as Greenville, Durham and Rocky Mount, report that heroin abuse has been limited to an increasingly smaller population of older abusers. Heroin addiction treatment - GET HELP NOW!

Methamphetamine:

Methamphetamine cases have been on the rise in urbanized parts of North Carolina, such as Raleigh, Charlotte, Greensboro and Asheville; however, rural communities in many counties of the western part of the state have experienced a surge in methamphetamine trafficking. Primary sources are located in West Coast states, principally California and Arizona, but a significant supply also comes from Mexican traffickers based in northern Georgia, e.g. Gainesville and Dalton. Mexican traffickers from these states have been identified as the clandestine manufacturers and sources of supply for crystal methamphetamine in multi-pound quantities. In 2003, the Asheville Post of Duty targeted a large Gainesville-based Mexican methamphetamine trafficking group distributing over 40 pounds monthly to habitual users in western North Carolina. Smaller crystal methamphetamine laboratories are a significant threat in the western portion of the state. Although on average they produce only gram to ounce quantities of methamphetamine, they were doubling in number over recent years until they stabilized by December 2005. They contribute to crime and social problems in rural counties, and create a considerable resource drain on state and local governments. DEA has joined in an aggressive campaign against meth lab “cooks.” DEA is also actively advising local retail stores about federal laws which govern the sale of listed items, such as psuedoephedrine, iodine, and anhydrous ammonia. The sale of any of these items to someone who is known to or suspected of manufacturing crystal methamphetamine is subject to arrest. Methamphetamine addiction treatment - GET HELP NOW!

Ecstasy and Club Drugs:

The Club Drugs that are most popular in North Carolina are MDMA, GHB and LSD. The use of Dangerous Drugs has increased in popularity across the state and is especially popular with college and high-school aged people. With more than 50 four-year colleges and universities in North Carolina, there is a large potential market for club drugs. Ecstasy (MDMA) is also a problem, although not posing near the equivalent threat to most North Carolina communities as does cocaine, methamphetamine and marijuana. Domestic intelligence gleaned from local and state agencies in North Carolina indicate that Ecstasy use is on the rise, arriving from trafficking networks in New York, Florida and California. Most prominently distributed in larger cities and along the coastal communities, such as beach cities attracting tourist populations, authorities are targeting ecstasy distributors and their out-of-state sources of supply. The Charlotte DO is targeting the rise of local Asian gangs trafficking MDMA and conducting money laundering for other trafficking groups. The majority of users of the drug are in the 15 to 25 year old category caught up in the "Rave" subculture. Law enforcement agencies have identified individuals with ties to the Pacific Northwest or West Coast regions of the country distributing bulk quantities of LSD.

Marijuana:

Marijuana is one of the most prevalent drugs in North Carolina and its availability is increasing. One cause is the recent rise in the availability of Mexican marijuana due to an influx of Mexican trafficking organizations executing smuggling operations into the state directly from Mexico via containerized cargo transported on tractor-trailer trucks, particularly in the central portion (Piedmont) of the state. In addition, marijuana is being smuggled in ever-larger amounts via campers, pickup trucks, and larger vehicles. Over the past five years, Domestic Cannabis Eradication Suppression Program authorities had seized domestically-grown marijuana in increasing quantities; specifically, in 2000 a total of 40,464 marijuana plants were seized, by 2001 the figure rose to 89,900 plants, and in 2002 there were 112,017 plants. There were no figures available for 2003 and in 2004, only 35,965 marijuana plants were seized. In 2005 there were 60,701 plants seized. The fluctuation of plants seized was impacted by the number of National Guard assets available due to multiple deployments from 2003 to the present. Marijuana addiction treatment - GET HELP NOW!

Prescription Drugs:

Current investigations indicate that diversion of OxyContin and hydrocodone products continues to be a problem in North Carolina. Primary methods of diversion being reported are 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, and the Internet. Benzodiazepines were also identified as being among the most commonly abused and diverted pharmaceuticals in North Carolina. Prescription Drug addiction treatment - GET HELP NOW!
