Only a small fraction of people in Ohio in need of drug rehab actually get the help they need. That is why a drug intervention in Ohio may be what is needed to get your loved one into a quality addiction treatment center that can really help them.

Not sure if a drug or alcohol intervention in Ohio is right for your loved one? Call us to find out how different types of interventions can be performed to get the addict's agreement to get help.
The primary drug threat in Ohio is powder and crack cocaine. The most violent crimes in the state are attributed to its distribution and abuse. Also, the rising availability of high-purity, low cost heroin is creating a large user population with a greater physical risk to users, who are younger than ever before. In the northern Ohio region, South American (Colombian) and Mexican black tar heroin are prevalent, while in the southern Ohio region, Mexican black tar heroin is predominant; Mexican brown powder heroin also appears in both regions. Marijuana remains the most abused drug in the state. Ohio is a source area for marijuana cultivation, as well as a distribution point for Mexican marijuana from the southwest border. Club drugs and MDMA (ecstasy) are also growing in popularity in urban areas. Local methamphetamine manufacturing has stabilized as the Mexican meth supply increases. Meth abuse, while increasing, has not yet reached the levels of other states in the Midwest.
Our drug intervention specialists are expert at addressing the situation with the addict as well as the family to help determine who shoudl be involved, how it the situation should be approached and what the best overall way would be to help get the addict's agreement to enter into a drug rehab program.
Has the addict already been to treatment before? This is a common problem. Unfortunately there are many addiction treatment centers that have very low success rates. We can help you find a more effective drug rehab program to inrease your loved one's chances at staying drug-free and get them to realize that there is a way out.
An imortant piece of information for you to have is that, contrary to popular opinion, alcoholism and other drug addiction is not an incurable disease. People become cured from this ailment every single day and never go back to using drugs or alcohol. In addition, giving substitute drugs to addicts will never solve the problem. Sure, a prescription here or there might temporarily treat the symptoms and make them feel better, but their body and mind will still be dependent on drugs to function in life and they will therefore always be looking for drugs as a solution to life's problems.
