The Impact of Addiction in Idaho

Drug & Alcohol Rehab Centers, Counseling in Idaho

Idaho is the number one producer of potatoes in the USA. Almost every known gemstone has been found in Gem State. Unspoilt, with its vast expanses of desert, this sparsely populated state lacks the crowds surrounding Washington and Montana. NASA astronauts used lava fields at the Moon National Monument Craters for moonwalk preparation in 1969. In winter, skiers and snowboarders are avoiding the lines and trying their best to keep the super-dry powder a secret.

Many Idahoers struggle with either alcohol and/or drug addiction. In 2010, Idaho ranked amongst the top ten states of substance abuse in several categories. Alcohol dependence and abuse pose a major problem throughout the state–especially among minors between the ages of 12 and 17 years old. For this age group, in particular, Idaho has consistently ranked amongst the top ten states in the nation for alcohol abuse and dependence over the past decade.

Clearly there are a lot of things Idaho to enjoy, but that does not mean Idaho is without drug issues.

Opioids, like everywhere else in the nation, are also responsible for many substance abuse problems in the Gem State. Idaho medical providers write a higher than average amount of prescriptions for opioids at 61.9% compared to the rest of the nation which falls at 51.4%. From these prescriptions, pain relievers form the largest threat to teenagers in Idaho.

To combat these drug problems, the state has adopted several laws and opened more rehabilitation centers. One of the most important laws implemented mandates that all healthcare professionals in Idaho have access to naloxone, which provides a temporary block of the effects of opioids, thereby giving medics more time to help overdosed individuals.
