Each drug rehab in Stuart, Virginia 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 Stuart 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 Stuart 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 Stuart. 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.

Drug Situation: Historically, the mid-Atlantic region has served as a thoroughfare for drugs, drug-related proceeds, weapons and other contraband traveling along the east coast of the United States. Virginia cities situated along Interstate-95 are vulnerable to "spillover" drug distribution from traffickers moving between the two major eastern drug importation hubs of New York City and Miami. Cocaine, crack cocaine and the violence attendant with the trafficking of these drugs are the most significant drug problem in the state, according to most law enforcement sources. However, MDMA abuse and distribution is an already large and still-growing problem, seizures of clandestine methamphetamine laboratories increase every year, and Mexican trafficking organizations are making enormous inroads in the cocaine, methamphetamine and marijuana distribution markets in nearly every part of the state.

Cocaine: Cocaine in both powder and crack forms is prevalent throughout the state of Virginia, in both wholesale and retail quantities. Considerable levels of violence continue to be associated with the crack cocaine trade in urban areas. Colombian and Dominican drug trafficking organizations in New York City remain the primary sources for most of the cocaine available in Virginia. Nonetheless, many local traffickers are becoming more reliant on Mexican sources of supply in the southwestern U.S., North Carolina and Georgia.

Heroin: The Richmond and Tidewater areas of Virginia both boast a consistent, long-term heroin abuse population. Pockets of heroin distribution are present in other areas of the state as well, but the problem is less pronounced. In recent years, "experimental" use of heroin by younger drug users was on the rise, but appears to have stabilized. Most of the heroin encountered in Virginia tends to be of higher-than-average purity. In the Norfolk area, heroin is packaged primarily in gelatin capsules, while it is packaged in small, usually colored or marked, ziploc baggies in other parts of the state.

Methamphetamine: Although still minimal, localized clandestine manufacture of methamphetamine has increased in Virginia every year for the past several years, with most of the activity centered on the far southwestern corner of the state bordering West Virginia, North Carolina and Kentucky. The Shenandoah Valley region contains the highest percentage of methamphetamine abusers in the state, and was the first area of the state to receive a huge influx of Mexican immigrants, whose presence encouraged an expansion of existing Mexican drug-trafficking networks. In rave and nightclub venues, both "ice" and methamphetamine have become drugs of choice.

Club Drugs: Of the club drugs widely abused and available within Virginia, MDMA is by far the easiest to obtain and most in demand. Once limited to abuse among teen and young-adult "ravers" from the affluent Washington, DC suburbs, MDMA is now a drug of choice among young adult drug users throughout the state, regardless of socio-economic and ethnic background. GHB and Ketamine are also widely available but, unlike MDMA, tend to remain within the nightclub/rave community. Other hallucinogenic and stimulant drugs, such as the piperazines, psilocybin mushrooms, LSD and PCP are also available, with their abuse tending to exhibit cyclical patterns or be limited to particular venues and/or events.

Marijuana: Marijuana is the most widely abused drug in the state of Virginia. Most of the marijuana available in the state is commercial grade product, imported from the southwestern U.S. Demand for high-grade marijuana, however, is at extremely high levels with source areas ranging from the Pacific Northwest to the New England states. Outdoor marijuana cultivation flourishes during the spring and summer, and indoor grows are increasingly common. Hydroponic indoor grows have not been encountered.

OxyContin and Other Prescription Drug Diversion: Virginia is one of the half-dozen or so states commonly cited by law enforcement and medical practitioners when discussing the national OxyContin abuse "epidemic." Indeed, Virginia was one of the first states to record extraordinary levels of OxyContin diversion and abuse. Although abuse of the prescription painkiller was initially limited to users in the southwestern portion of the state, that abuse has spread to include most of western Virginia and much of central and northern Virginia as well. Sources for diverted OxyContin are located both within and outside of Virginia's borders. The diversion and abuse of other prescription drugs has a long history in Virginia, particularly in the southwestern portion of the state.

DEA Mobile Enforcement Teams: This cooperative program with state and local law enforcement counterparts was conceived in 1995 in response to the overwhelming problem of drug-related violent crime in towns and cities across the nation. There have been 409 deployments completed resulting in 16,763 arrests of violent drug criminals as of February 2004. There have been nine Washington Division Mobile Enforcement Team (MET) deployments in the State of Virginia since the inception of the program: Manassas, Chincoteague, Fredericksburg, Richmond, Petersburg, Hampton, Prince William County, Hopewell, and Shenandoah Valley.

DEA Regional Enforcement Teams: This program was designed to augment existing DEA division resources by targeting drug organizations operating in the United States where there is a lack of sufficient local drug law enforcement. This Program was conceived in 1999 in response to the threat posed by drug trafficking organizations that have established networks of cells to conduct drug trafficking operations in smaller, non-traditional trafficking locations in the United States. Nationwide, there have been 22 deployments completed resulting in 608 arrests of drug trafficking criminals as of February 2004. There has been one RET deployment in the State of Virginia since the inception of the program: Portsmouth.

Other Enforcement Operations: The Washington/Baltimore HIDTA and Metropolitan Area Task Force (MATF) both participate in and assist in the funding of enforcement groups in northern Virginia. Northern Virginia is further served by an interdiction task force covering Reagan National Airport, Dulles International Airport, and the Amtrak train station in Alexandria.

Special Topics: The Annandale High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area (HIDTA)/MATF is comprised of two DEA task forces. Seven local agencies and the State Police are represented. On the federal level, the FBI provides three Special Agents. Housed within the same office space is a joint IRS/Secret Service money laundering group. Analytical support is provided by intelligence analysts assigned to the Washington Field Division’s Intelligence Group 31.

The Center for Multicultural Human Services (CMHS) is requesting $400,000 for a Phase II continuation grant for the Community Treatment and Service Centers of the National Child Traumatic Stress Initiative (NCTSI). In addition to network collaboration activities, funding will support the continued development, implementation and evaluation of four major projects designedto facilitate the healing of traumatized refugee and immigrant children. CMHS will build on recent achievements as the foundation for the successful implementation of these projects. An Educational Video and Leader's Guide connected to Children of War, which has been embraced by NCTSI network participants as a medium for increasing public awareness of traumatization in school age children in Northern Virginia, will be developed for use in schools nationwide to sensitize school personnel and children to the presence and needs of war-traumatized refugee and immigrant children in their midst. The Leaders of Tomorrow curriculum, a program with a two-year track record of success, will be refined and enhanced to serve four different ethnic groups. Cutting edge activities, including the development of a digital storytelling component, are planned to take place in the coming year and will provide a spring-board for innovative program developments in the coming years. The implementation and evaluation of the Child and Parent Trauma Cognitive Behavioral Treatment Model will link the model to CMHS's exceptionally diverse client base. Recognizing the need to train individuals who can reach traumatized children in a variety of contexts and settings, CMHS is proposing to revise and enhance its training models. The program will offer graduate level interns in psychology, psychiatry and social work the opportunity to focus on child trauma during their internship. Ongoing staff training activities will enhance CMHS's stature as forum for the discussion of issues relating to trauma in children.

In an effort to address the issue of addiction prevention and treatment within the United States, NAADAC, The Association for Addiction Professionals, is proposing the creation of a Workforce Resource Center based in Ohio. The need for addiction treatment professionals is expected to increase 33% nationwide in the next 10 years. In Ohio, state programs are able to serve only 7.5% of the drug and alcohol dependent population. This significant gap has led to the foundation of a workforce initiative, designed to recruit, train, and retain substance abuse professionals to adequately and effectively allow early interventions and treatment for the growing problem of substance abuse and dependence. Working in conjunction with the Ohio Association of Alcohol and Drug Abuse Counselors (OAADAC) as well as the Ohio Council of Behavioral Healthcare Providers (OCBHP), NAADAC will focus on the addiction professional workforce crisis through the utilization of new technologies and partnerships. Recovery is the result of quality treatment, yet without a sufficient population of well-educated addiction treatment professionals, the problem of drug and alcohol addiction faces a crisis of enormous proportions. NAADAC and its partners have designed an integrated system to work to keep the current addiction treatment providers while training the next generation of professionals. This will, hopefully, serve as a national model for future workforce initiatives. NAADAC and its partners in this project will take a multi-faceted approach to this project. Specifically, NAADAC, OAADAC, and OCBHP will 1) assess the current educational processes to become a treatment professional; 2) evaluate what necessities are required in retaining qualified and well-trained current professionals; 3) discuss and develop strategies to resolve the workforce crisis at a regional summit; 4) utilize current NAADAC leadership development to establish new leaders within the addictions field; 5) create an Ohio-b

The Center for Cultural Experiences in Prevention (CCEP) at Virginia Commonwealth University in partnership with Virginia Planned Parenthood and the Richmond City Health Department propose to implement a program to enhance services for the prevention of HIV and other risky sexual and drug behaviors among middle school youth in Richmond, Virginia. Problem behaviors such as drug use, risky sexual activity, poor academic achievement, and poor life skills co-occur and prevention services should address these problem behaviors simultaneously. We will provide culturally enriched services targeted at (1) the enhancement of life skills; (2) the prevention of risky sexual attitudes and behavior; (3) the prevention of risky drug attitudes and use; and (4) the strengthening of positive cultural beliefs and values. Middle school age youth are targeted because the initiation of risky behaviors before they start. Sex and drug prevention programs will be provided to 3,200 (800/yeare) 6th grade youth who attend school and live in two catchments areas in Richmond, Virginia with the highest incidence of teen pregnancy, and sexually transmitted diseases. These areas also have elevated indicators of other problem behaviors including violence and criminal activity, drugs, and lower educational achievement.

Project Period: 09/30/2004 - 09/29/2006
In developing and testing the Healthy Work Life for Youth (HWY) program, ISA will build on its SAMHSA recognized Model Program (Healthy Workplace) approach to integrating workplace substance abuse prevention and health promotion. ISA is partnering with GMAC to develop and test the HWY program on a sample of young employees 18-24 years of age. Young people are disproportionately represented among those who engage in high risk behaviors such as substance use, unsafe sexual behavior, dangerous driving, and violence and are, therefore, at risk for a variety of negative health outcomes. In Phase I of the project, ISA will work with GMAC to complete the development of the HWY. Year 1 will include meetings with GMAC managers, initial development of the program content, and focus group testing. Year 2 will include pilot testing of the program implementation and datacollection instruments and techniques on a small sample of young employees as well as baseline data collection on 400 young GMAC employees. In addition, ISA will participate on the Steering Committee and work closely with the Cross Site Contractor to develop an appropriate set of Cross Site measures. Phase II (Years 3-5) will include random assignment of participants to experimental or control conditions, full implementation of the program, post test and follow up data collection, analysis and report writing. ISA will continue to serve on the Steering Committee and participate in Knowledge Exchange Meetings. Workplace-based programs that can assist youth in successfully making the transition from school to work and reducing the highrisk behaviors often associated with this age group can be an invaluable resource to industry and significantly improve the lives of youth and young adult workers. This study will provide invaluable information on the effects of a specially designed program on young employees' health practices, stress and stress management practices, anger management, and substance use behavior.
