More Information

According to Arizona Substance Abuse and Mental Health Issues At-A-Glance published by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), the past-month rate of use of drugs other than marijuana among those ages 12 to 17 has been one of the highest in the nation for the past four years surveyed. Also, cocaine has been problematic for this age group as well as the 12+ age group; past-year use of this substance has consistently ranked among the 10 highest in the US.
Most Abused Substances in Arizona
Citing a “drug of choice” upon entering drug addiction treatment is a common way to begin. It helps providers to understand the issues that are likely to come up for the patient, including withdrawal symptoms, situational cravings, chronic health problems and more.

This has remained relatively consistent over the past 10 years, with the only change occurring in 2005 and 2006 when marijuana and methamphetamine switched places – methamphetamine used to be number three but began to rise in popularity in 2003.

Inpatient vs. Outpatient recovery program Treatment

In order to assess the average number of people who seek treatment for drug and alcohol addiction in a given year, surveyors contact drug rehab providers and ask for their total enrollment numbers on a random date. In Arizona, that survey revealed that 93 percent of those in treatment were attending outpatient addiction treatment programs.

However, it is not always the best choice for those who are living with co-occurring mental health disorders, have struggled for years with addiction, or experience severe withdrawal symptoms when they attempt to stop taking their drug of choice.

Lack of Resources

Almost half of the state’s programs depend upon funding from federal, state, county or local governments – and all these entities have tight budgets. When grant money, tax credits and other funding dries up, rehab centers are often forced to cut their treatment offerings or the number of beds open to patients in need. It’s a problem that has left thousands of Arizona families wondering where to turn in order to help an addicted loved one break free from drug and alcohol dependence.
