Drug Statistics and Facts
Cocaine and coca leaves, which are classified as "narcotics" in the Controlled Substances Act (CSA), neither bind at opiate receptors, nor produce morphine-like effects and are discussed in the section on stimulants. The term narcotic refers to drugs that produce morphine-like effects.
In 2009, among the 4.3 million persons aged 12 or older who received treatment for alcohol or illicit drug use in the past year, 2.5 million persons received treatment at a self-help group, and 2.0 million received treatment at a rehabilitation facility as an outpatient. There were 1.2 million persons who received treatment at a rehabilitation facility as an inpatient, 1.1 million persons who received treatment at a mental health center as an outpatient, 858,000 at a hospital as an inpatient, 714,000 at a private doctor's office, 487,000 at an emergency room, and 374,000 at a prison or jail. None of these estimates changed significantly between 2008 and 2009 or between 2002 and 2009, except that the number of persons who received treatment at a rehabilitation facility as an inpatient in 2009 was higher than that in 2008 (743,000), but was similar to that in 2002 (1.1 million) and that the number of persons who received treatment at a rehabilitation facility as an outpatient in 2009 was higher than that in 2008 (1.5 million) and 2002 (1.5 million).
Among underage current drinkers in 2008, 30.8 percent paid for the alcohol the last time they drank, including 8.3 percent who purchased the alcohol themselves and 22.3 percent who gave money to someone else to purchase it.
In 2009, an estimated 69.7 million Americans aged 12 or older were current (past month) users of a tobacco product. This represents 27.7 percent of the population in that age range. In addition, 58.7 million persons (23.3 percent of the population) were current cigarette smokers; 13.3 million (5.3 percent) smoked cigars; 8.6 million (3.4 percent) used smokeless tobacco; and 2.1 million (0.8 percent) smoked tobacco in pipes.

Each drug rehab in Wyoming has a different approach to the recovery process. Take note of what is important to you, and make decisions based on your personal needs. Keep in mind that in Wyoming there are a multitude of treatment options to choose from: outpatient treatment, in patient treatment, support groups, drug rehabilitation, alcohol rehab, drug treatment programs, sober living, halfway houses, long term treatment, short term treatment, counseling, and many more. An individual can become thoroughly confused by asking a half-dozen recovering alcoholics or drug addicts in Wyoming how they conquered their abuse of alcohol or drugs; the answers vary although each of them are convincing and emotional. They will cite such diverse approaches as hospitalization, diet, exercise, counseling, sauna's, religion, hypnosis, amino acids and self-help groups. When it comes to successful treatment, only one thing is certain: practically any approach will work for some of the people, some of the time. To put it another way, successful drug rehabilitation is like a designer suit- it's got to be tailor-made for each individual. A great deal of variation exists in the degree of dependence among drug users. The teenager who smokes marijuana three times a week is not as dependent as the thirty year old who has smoked marijuana six times a day for 15 years and has already relapsed after being in two drug rehabilitation centers. It's obvious that these individuals need different approaches to treatment. Similarly, among cocaine users are some who use it in binge fashion, one or two days a month, and others who use it several times each day. Again, different treatment approaches are required for each case.

For those who do not have a long history of drug addiction, an outpatient treatment program might be the correct decision. This form of treatment may be a viable solution for those who have a brief drug addiction history. These individuals might only need the guidance and counseling available though this method of treatment. On the other hand, those who have experienced an extended period of drug addiction, choosing the correct drug rehab program typically means that they should enter into an in patient drug rehab program not located in Wyoming. The structure, 24-hour support and change of enviornment made available through this type of drug rehab recovery program can be highly effective for those recovering from a long term drug addiction problem. Most drug rehab professionals in do not recommend any one "best" treatment approach, recognizing the many variations among drug and alcohol abusers. In general, the levels of treatment range from simple and behavioral to complex and medical. The person dependent upon drugs or alcohol may have used the chosen substance for so long that he or she has literally forgotten how to cope with the daily challenges of life; how to have a meaningful, drug-free lifestyle; or how to solve the social or psychological problems that prompted the substance abuse in the first place. In these instances, a very comprehensive approach must be prescribed if the individual is to expect any degree of successful recovery. Once stability is achieved, the "clean" or sober individual can take several steps to enhance recovery and avoid relapse. Among the general recommendations are belonging to a group as a support system, having a religious involvement, practicing good health habits; including proper diet, sleep, and exercise, as well as goal planning and self enhancement projects.
