  • Drug Overdose Facts
  • In 2008, there were around 190,000 emergency rooms visits by persons under age 21 for injuries and other conditions concerning alcohol.
  • According to a 2010 Reuters Health report, a larger number of Americans than ever have landed in the hospital due to drug overdoses related to powerful prescription painkillers, sedatives, tranquilizers, and sleep medications.
  • According to a recent article in the Los Angeles Times, drug overdose deaths now outnumber traffic fatalities in the United States; the article concluded that this increase is mostly due to the significant increase in the number of individuals who abuse prescription drugs in this country.
  • Experts have reported that the current surge in drug overdose deaths in the U.S. is related to liberal dispensing of potent prescription pain and anxiety medications; these medications are reported to be highly addictive, and particularly dangerous.
  • Drug addicted individuals often come into contact with the criminal justice system earlier than other health or social systems, which provides excellent opportunities for intervention and drug rehab prior to, during, after, or in lieu of incarceration.

Native American or Alaska Native Languages

Native Americans and Alaska Natives have much higher rates of abuse and addiction than other ethnicities, a situation which must be addressed for these cultures to survive. In fact, Native American and Alaska youth have some of the highest rates of alcohol and drug abuse in the country. Though the reasons may vary from person to person, most of the reasons for the high rates of addiction among Native American and Alaska natives are cultural ones. The biggest barrier to treating Native Americans and Alaska Natives for substance abuse are language and culture differences. This is why it is important that Native Americans and Alaska Natives receive substance abuse treatment in a drug rehab program that is specifically catered to this ethnic group, but most importantly in one that takes into the account the need to provide treatment in their language.
