What Are the Drug Addiction Problems in Oregon?
You would think that Oregon would have fewer drug problems that States with very big, cosmopolitan cities like New York and California. But Oregon’s drug problem is even worse.
In the latest surveys of drug abuse in the individual States of the U.S., Oregon ranked highest for several categories:
- The number of people who used illicit drugs other than marijuana in the last month
- The number of young adults who used prescription painkillers to get high
- The number of people over the age of 26 who used illegal drugs in the past month
The number of people who used illegal drugs in the last month was 50% higher than the national average. And more people died in Oregon from drugs than from motor vehicle accidents – which is unusual. Drug-induced deaths were about 25% higher than in the rest of the country.
What Drug Problems Need Addiction Help in Oregon?
With Oregon being the number one State for non-medical use of prescription painkillers for young adults, you can see why prescription drug addiction would be one of the Oregon’s biggest problems. But prescription drug addiction isn’t limited to young people getting high. It’s a problem for people of all ages – even senior citizens!
Oregon Addiction Help for Prescription Drug Addiction
How do people get addicted to prescription drugs?
Older people often get addicted to prescription drugs when prescribed by their doctor for a short-term situation. Unfortunately, it doesn’t take long to get addicted to some of these drugs. When the person tries to stop taking them, they often experience withdrawal symptoms. These can make the person feel like they still need the drugs, so they keep taking them and the situation gets worse.
Younger people tend to get the drugs from their parents’ medicine cabinets, or those of other family members or friends. They know the adults in the house are taking the pills and, as far as the kids understand, the adults are taking them to make themselves feel better.
Kids want to feel better, too.
They may take painkillers, sedatives, tranquilizers, antidepressants, anti-anxiety drugs, Ritalin and Adderall prescribed for a sibling with learning disorders – whatever’s there, they’re likely to try out.
And they don’t just take them for themself, they also share them with their friends. Sometimes a bunch of kids take pills to a party. They’re all thrown into a big bowl and kids take whatever they want.
Sometimes they get addicted, sometimes they wind up in the emergency room at the hospital, and sometimes they die.
It’s no joke.
