Select Your City | Select Another State | Drug Information by States To find out if there are any drug rehab treatment or counseling facilities serving people in Knik-Fairview, Alaska that are suitable for your needs, please call 1-888-966-3784. There are hundreds, if not thousands of different types of alcohol addiction and drug detox and rehab programs. When choosing a drug rehab center for yourself or a loved one in need, it is important to become educated on the different types and what the end results are. Types of drug rehab programs include detoxification, outpatient counseling, short-term inpatient treatment (30-day program) and long-term residential treatment (longer than 60 days). Within these there are also medical models that use substitute drugs in the treatment process and there are drug-free programs that do not prescribe more drugs to addicts. Most drug rehab centers have some type of aftercare or follow-up program as well. On average for the country, approximately 90% of addicts go through outpatient treatment services instead of entering a residential rehabilitation program. (Source: SAMHSA) Longer-term residential treatment is overall more effective and a drug-free rehabilitation approach is better in the long run for the addict.

Most rehab centers consider detoxification to be when the addict is no longer under the influence of the drug, but this is actually only withdrawal. At the Narconon Drug Detox and Rehab Program we have a very unique and effective detox procedure that actually rids the body of the old drug residues, which in turn eliminates physical cravings for the drugs and allows a person to feel much healthier mentally and physically. This is called the Narconon New Life Detoxification Program and is part of the Narconon Drug Detox and Rehab Program's long-term residential treatment. To make a successful recovery, the addict needs new tools in order to deal with situations and problems that are part of everyday life. Factors such as encountering someone from their days of using, returning to the same environment and places, or even small things such as smells and objects trigger memories which can create a desire to use drugs again. This can hinder the addict's goal of complete recovery and prevent them from permanently regaining control of their life. The Narconon Drug Detox and Rehab Program provides the life skills necessary to overcome these barriers and have a successful, permanent recovery so that former addicts can lead a healthy, productive and drug-free life. The Narconon Drug Detox and Rehab Program has helped thousands of people from all over the United States and other countries overcome addiction. The results speak for themselves. Approximately 70% of Narconon program graduates remain drug-free. Regardless of where you are in the country, contact a Narconon consultant today to get the help you're looking for. The Narconon Drug Detox and Rehab Program services individuals from all over the country through our successful drug rehabilitation program, including many from Knik-Fairview, Alaska.

Alaska Drug Information provided by the U.S. Drug Enforcement AdministrationDrug Situation: Due to its non-contiguous location with the rest of the United States and shared border with Canada, Alaska is both a transshipment state as well as consumer state for controlled substances. Dominican and Mexican organizations are primarily responsible for cocaine distribution in Alaska. Methamphetamine seizures and abuse are on the increase. Alaska has one of the highest per capita uses of controlled substances, partially attributing to the equally high per capita incidence of alcoholism, rape, and suicide compared with the rest of the United States. Drug trafficking organizations in Alaska also engage in money laundering, using a variety of methods to legitimize and reposition illicit proceeds.
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. Since the inception of the MET Program, 473 deployments have been completed nationwide, resulting in 19,643 arrests. There have been no MET deployments in the State of Alaska.

Cocaine: Several different organizations are involved in trafficking cocaine to Alaska. Mexican and Dominican drug trafficking organizations dominate cocaine distribution in Alaska. Crack cocaine continues to be a threat in Alaska, with many organizations dealing in both cocaine and crack. These organizations obtain cocaine from the lower 48 states. Due to Alaska's remote location, these organizations are able to resell cocaine in Alaska at grossly inflated rates. See also: 
Heroin: Small amounts of black tar heroin are available in Alaska. Mexican organizations control the distribution of black tar heroin. OxyContin, with effects similar to heroin, has become the drug of choice for heroin abusers in the state. See also: 
Methamphetamine: Some local law makers, in an attempt to slow the increase of methamphetamine labs, have mandated that cold remedies containing pseudoephedrine be removed from shelves and placed behind the counter or within the pharmacy. Many retailers of such cold remedies have chosen, without being mandated, to remove those products as well. Preliminary results indicate that such steps have actually decreased the number of small user-type labs seized by law enforcement. Methamphetamine continues to be readily available. Drug trafficking organizations obtain the majority of methamphetamine for sale in Alaska from sources in the lower 48 states. Southeast Asian methamphetamine tablets known as "yaba," reportedly manufactured in Burma and Laos, are becoming available in Alaska. See also: 
Club Drugs: MDMA (4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine or street name, Ecstasy) is available in Alaska. Drug trafficking organizations distributing cocaine, methamphetamine, and marijuana are acquiring small amounts of MDMA for distribution. LSD (lysergic acid diethylamide) and GHB (gamma-hydroxybutyrate) are also available in Alaska. See also: 
Drug Candy: Putting drugs into candy bars, lollipops and adding strawberry flavoring to things like crystal methamphetamine is emerging as a trend in more than a few states. Although not yet documented in Alaska, this practice is certain to bring young and inexperienced new users into the trap of using illegal drugs. See also: 
Marijuana: Marijuana is the most abused and widespread drug in Alaska. In June, Alaska Governor Frank Murkowski signed HB49 which re-criminalizes the use and possession of marijuana. Almost all of the marijuana grown in Alaska is harvested in indoor growing operations. The availability of BC Bud smuggled from Canada continues to increase in the Anchorage area. See also: 
Pharmaceutical Diversion: In the United States, prescription drugs are the second most abused drug by youth. The primary methods of diversion of legitimate pharmaceuticals continues to be illegal dispensing and prescribing by physicians, illegal distribution by pharmacists, prescription forgery, doctor shopping, and drug thefts from pharmacies, nursing homes, and hospitals. Pharmacy burglaries are prevalent throughout the state and Diversion Investigators are also encountering pharmaceuticals that have been purchased via the Internet without a doctor's prescription. The abuse and trafficking of oxycodone (OxyContin, Percocet, Percodan), hydrocodone (Vicodin, Lortab), and anabolic steroids continues to be a concern. See also:
