Maryland Drug RehabDuring 2005, there were more than 59,000 admissions to drug rehab and alcohol treatment in Maryland. This is significantly lower that the 78,800 drug rehab admissions in 2004 and the 81,000 in 2003 in Maryland. According to national survey data, approximately 117,000 people in Maryland reported needing but not receiving drug rehab treatment for illicit drug use within the past year. The drug situation in Maryland is as grim as any other state, showing a clear-cut need for drug rehabilitation programs that can help. Cocaine and crack cocaine abuse and distribution are significant threats throughout Maryland, especially in areas near Washington, D.C. Heroin is abused throughout Maryland, but is most problematic in and around the city of Baltimore. Baltimore is home to higher numbers of heroin addicts and heroin-related crime than almost any other city in the nation. Marijuana is the most readily available and commonly abused illicit drug in Maryland. The demand for and the availability of methamphetamine is sporadic around the state, and is more available on the western side, which is more rural. MDMA is the most commonly abused club drug in the state, especially with inner-city drug dealers in Baltimore and among young, primarily blue-collar, individuals in the western part of the state. Current investigations indicate that diversion of oxycodone products such as OxyContin® continues to be a problem in Maryland. Benzodiazepines and methadone are also among the most commonly abused and diverted prescription drugs in the state. Approximately 317,000 people in Maryland (ages 12 or older) reported past month use of an illicit drug. Contact us now for drug rehab help for yourself or someone you love from Maryland.
