There seems to be a growing need for better Drug Rehabilitation centers. The statistics of young adults using drugs is alarming. In fact, according to Teen Help, in the next twenty four hours, 15,006 teens will use drugs for the first time.
Drug addictions turns addicts into shells of their former selves, strips them of all the hope and joy that make human existence such a vital thing in the first place. So it is no wonder that the suicidal rates of drug users is so high. It's sad to think there are that many teens in such a short time who are making a decision that could negatively effect their lives forever.
The Drug Rehabilitation Network is drug rehabilitation referral site, full of information and guidance on seeking help for substance abuse. They not only have articles about drug treatment centers and programs, but they also have a place where you can write in your own journal. More importantly, they do not ask any of their advertisers for money which aides them in giving a fair and honest assessment about each place they discuss.
Over half (51%) of America's teenagers have tried an illicit drug by the time they finish high school. For the second year in a row inhalant use has increased in 8th graders with 17.3% reporting use at least once in their lifetime. These drugs are particularly dangerous because they can damage the nervous system even after a single use, and they can be fatal. (According to the National Institute of Drug Abuse)
If you or someone you knows has an addiction, perhaps you can refer them to this network. Or print out some of the contact information available on their site. Standing by and being witness to someone who is harming themselves with drugs is just as much of a choice as is trying to help them.
