West Virginia Drug Detox Centers

Approximately 7 million Americans report that they use prescription medications for non-medical purposes. In fact, prescription drugs have become the most frequently used illicit drug among teenagers after cannabis. For West Virginia residents, prescription drug abuse represents an enormous public health challenge. The state leads the nation in deaths from drug overdose, with approximately 28.9 per 100,000 residents dying from drug overdose each year. This is an astonishing 605% increase since 1999, and rates continue to increase. Benzodiazepines such as Xanax, sleep aids such as Lunesta, and painkillers such as Oxycontin are the most commonly abused forms of prescription drugs.

Measures Taken to Reduce Prescription Drug Abuse in West Virginia

West Virginia legislators have shown willingness to fight prescription drug abuse in the state, scoring 8 out of 10 on promising measures to curb prescription medication abuse. The state participates in Medicaid Expansion, which increases the number of residents who have access to coverage for drug treatment programs. West Virginia also requires patients to show identification at a pharmacy before receiving controlled substances. Its required prescription drug monitoring program ensures that physicians and public health officials can track prescription use and potential abuse of medications.

Benefits of Entering a Drug Detox Center

Despite the large number of West Virginians suffering from prescription drug problems, relatively few seek treatment. Misinformation about treatment programs and concerns about cost are common barriers. However, entering a drug detox center is an investment in your health and safe recovery. The withdrawal process from prescription drugs can be unpleasant and even dangerous for some individuals. As a result, having physicians on-hand to monitor your progress and alleviate withdrawal symptoms is a strong benefit to your recovery.
