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.

Kentucky Drug Information provided by the U.S. Drug Enforcement AdministrationDrug Situation: Marijuana, methamphetamine, diverted pharmaceutical drugs, and cocaine are the primary drug threats in the state of Kentucky. The eastern Kentucky region, especially the Daniel Boone National Forest, is a primary source of domestic grown marijuana. In 2006, 557,276 marijuana plants were eradicated in Kentucky, according to the Domestic Cannabis Eradication/Suppression Program. Though Kentucky is the site of large-scale marijuana cultivation, most of the marijuana produced in the state is exported to metropolitan areas in Illinois, Ohio, New York, Indiana, Michigan, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia and Washington D.C. Methamphetamine remains a serious threat throughout Kentucky. Though methamphetamine manufacturing activity in Kentucky has decreased, the supply of methamphetamine is supported by an increase in the distribution of ice methamphetamine by Mexican drug trafficking organizations. Cocaine remains readily available in Kentucky. Limited competition in remote areas makes the small communities of eastern Kentucky popular and profitable for cocaine trafficking organizations from major metropolitan areas and the Southwest Border. Urban areas such as Lexington and Louisville are used as transshipment points for multi-kilogram amounts of cocaine en route from the southwest border to markets in Kentucky and the northeastern United States. Lastly, several counties in rural eastern Kentucky lead the nation in terms of grams of narcotic pain medications distributed on a per capita basis. Aside from marijuana cultivation and trafficking, the trafficking and illicit use of prescription drugs in the area is the most significant drug threat facing the residents of rural eastern Kentucky.
The use of the Internet to illegitimately obtain prescription drugs affected southeastern Kentucky especially hard. Parcel delivery services had to add additional delivery trucks to established routes in the area to handle a significant increase in parcel volume. The increase in parcel volume was solely linked to an increase in parcels originating from out of state Internet pharmacy operations. Additionally, due to the C.O.D. nature of these deliveries, delivery drivers were increasingly carrying large amounts of cash and drugs in their vehicles. For the safety of their employees, parcel delivery services in southeastern Kentucky suspended door-to-door delivery service of packages from Internet pharmacies. In 2005, the Kentucky Legislature passed and enacted legislation that required Internet pharmacies doing business in Kentucky to register with the Kentucky Board of Pharmacy; adhere and abide by all rules, regulations, and policies of the Board; made it a felony for an individual to distribute drugs shipped to Kentucky from unlicensed Internet pharmacies; and authorized law enforcement agencies to seize prescription drugs ordered from unlicensed Internet pharmacies. The law significantly reduced the fraudulent purchasing of controlled substances from out-of-state Internet pharmacies by Kentucky citizens.

In 2005, a total of 121,809 marijuana plants were eradicated from the National Forest land in Kentucky. National Forest lands suffer from the collateral effects of marijuana cultivation including property damage to natural resources, archeological sites, and wildlife including endangered species. Marijuana producers have destroyed numerous trees, plants and fauna, as well as gates and fences, to clear cultivation sites and drive vehicles to and from the marijuana plots. The marijuana grown in Kentucky is vastly different from the marijuana abused in the past. In the 1970's the THC content, or strength of the marijuana, fell in the 1-6% range. Mexican marijuana available in the Untied States averages 6% in THC content. Tests in 2005 showed the average THC content of eradicated marijuana in Kentucky is 15%. Far more marijuana is cultivated in Kentucky than the local market can consume. Reporting indicates marijuana grown in Kentucky is transported to the Midwest (Illinois, Ohio, Indiana, and Michigan) and the East Coast (North Carolina, Virginia, Pennsylvania, New York, and Washington, D.C.)

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. As of January 31, 2005, there have been 27 deployments nationwide, and one deployment in the U.S. Virgin Islands, resulting in 671 arrests. There have been no RET deployments in the state of Kentucky. Don't Wait If You Need Help Now! Declare Drug Independence!

Cocaine: Cocaine HCl is readily available throughout Kentucky. The highest levels availability is in the urban areas. African American, Hispanic, and Colombian drug trafficking organizations are the primary urban traffickers. Caucasian and African-American traffickers are the primary traffickers in rural areas. Source areas for cocaine destined for Kentucky are the Southwest Border of the U.S., northern Georgia and Chicago. The price and purity of cocaine has remained relatively stable in Kentucky for the past several years. Gram quantities continue to sell for $100-$150, ounce quantities for $700-$1,200, and kilograms for $16,000-$28,000. Cocaine purchased and seized in urban areas consistently tests in the 40 to 90 percent purity range. See also: 
Heroin: The presence of heroin in Kentucky is limited but sources indicate there is a low demand for small amounts in some areas of southeastern and northern Kentucky, as well as the Louisville area. When encountered, heroin has usually been found in user amounts, with the sources either Cincinnati or Detroit. However, recent enforcement operations have indicated that Mexican drug trafficking organizations are attempting to widen the heroin market in the state, particularly in the Louisville area. Recent seizures in the Louisville region have totaled over three pounds of Mexican heroin. See also: 
Methamphetamine: Methamphetamine continues to be available in Kentucky, especially in the rural areas of the state. Kentucky methamphetamine production has decreased significantly over the CY 2004 - CY 2006 timeframe. There are two reasons for the drop in clandestine laboratory activity. One is the increasing distribution and abuse of ice methamphetamine by Mexican/Mexican-American drug trafficking organizations. The ice is produced at super labs in Mexico and superior in quality to locally produced methamphetamine. Secondly, and likely the primary reason for the decrease production, is that during the 1Q of CY 2005 the Kentucky Legislature passed and enacted legislation targeting the distribution of precursor chemicals, specifically over-the-counter products containing pseudoephedrine and ephedrine. These laws made it more difficult for local methamphetamine producers to obtain these products by limiting purchase amounts, requiring identification, and creating a paper trail. Methamphetamine lab seizures in Kentucky decreased from 604 in CY 2004 to 200 in CY 2006 (as of 9-5-2006). 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 found in Kentucky, this practice is certain to bring young and inexperienced new users into the trap of using illegal drugs. See also: 
Pharmaceutical Diversion: The diversion of hydrocodone and oxycodone products Lortab, Lorcet, Vicodin and Oxycontin continues to be a problem in Kentucky. Diverted pharmaceutical drugs are primarily distributed by Caucasian trafficking groups. Primary methods of diversion include pharmacy theft, "doctor shopping," prescription fraud, and purchasing large quantities of drugs from unscrupulous Internet pharmacies.
Club Drugs: LSD and Ecstasy are primarily used by teenagers and young adults in the cities with colleges and universities such as Lexington, Louisville, Richmond, and Morehead. The largest suppliers of Ecstasy (MDMA)in the Lexington area are white, middle-class males, 25-35 years of age, who operate in a well-organized manner. They transport MDMA via U.S. Mail from Miami, Cincinnati, Atlanta, and Los Angeles. They distribute MDMA to users in strip clubs, bars, rave parties, and other high school parties. Ketamine is distributed in nightclubs/bars. Steroids are obtained from mail order companies, doctors, veterinary supply companies and in gyms. GHB is obtained through the Internet, and from local manufacturers. Ecstasy, Ketamine, GHB, and LSD are readily available in the Lexington area. See also: 
Marijuana: Kentucky is a major source of domestically grown marijuana. In 2005, Kentucky ranked 2nd in total domestic marijuana production. The Daniel Boone National Forest, covering more than 690,000 acres of eastern Kentucky, is a preferred site for cultivators. The forestlands are remote, sparsely populated, very accessible, and possess ideal soil and climate conditions for cannabis cultivation. Additionally, National Forest's timber practices clear previously forested areas, opening up numerous places where sunlight can reach the forest floor. Marijuana plots in the National Forest are found in various locations from bottomlands, on hillsides and up to the tops of mountains, with the deforested areas the preferred spots for growers. Marijuana growers also perceive the rural areas of the National Forest as too spacious for law enforcement officials to detect their activities. Lastly, growers often plant their crops on public lands in an effort to protect themselves from personal and/or financial loss due to asset forfeiture procedures.
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, a total of 436 deployments have been completed nationwide, resulting in 18,318 arrests. There have been three MET deployments in the state of Kentucky since the inception of the program in Louisville, Covington, and Hopkinsville.
