Drug treatment outpatient Wyoming

Outpatient drug treatment programs vary in the types and intensity of services offered. Low-intensity outpatient drug treatment programs may offer little more than drug education and counsel. Other outpatient drug treatment models, such as intensive day treatment, can be comparable to residential programs in services and effectiveness, depending on the individual's characteristics and needs.

All in all, the ultimate goal of an outpatient drug treatment is to help the individual recover from drug addiction so that they may re-enter society and lead responsible, successful drug and alcohol free lives.

Drug treatment residential Wyoming

Inpatient drug treatment is one of many methods whose ultimate goal is long-term abstinence from drugs and alcohol. Those who attend an inpatient drug treatment use the new tools they have learned to help them re-enter society and lead responsible, successful drug and alcohol free lives.

Inpatient drug treatment centers offer support and structure for men and women seeking help for problems with drugs or alcohol. Participants reside on location for the course of the treatment program; lengths of stay vary and may be individualized.

Twelve steps Wyoming

The 12 steps that underlie these programs are based on traditional spiritual practices. Respect for all religious traditions is expected in these programs. While a few individual meetings may show a tendency toward a specific religion, this is not in the spirit of true 12-step recovery. You should have no problem finding meetings and groups that respect all religious traditions and do not push any particular theology or belief system.

Residential Treatment and Rehabs cannot officially call themselves "12 step programs" because Alcoholics Anonymous and the programs that have branched from that group (Narcotics Anonymous, for example), cannot promote themselves. The traditions require anonymity and their only "promotion" is by way of example (how the members live their lives).

"The Fellowship has adopted a policy of "cooperation but not affiliation" with other organizations concerned with the problem of alcoholism."

Cocaine treatment Wyoming

Cocaine is a potent and dangerous Central Nervous System (CNS) stimulant, processed from the Coca Plant in South America. Cocaine works by blocking the reabsorption of dopamine in the brain (a chemical messenger that assists in normal functioning of the CNS and is associated with pleasure and movement). Cocaine in its powdered form is sniffed or mixed with water and than injected. Recently users are smoking a freebase form of the drug called Crack (so named for the "crackling" sound when the mixture of cocaine and sodium bicarbonate is heated).

Prolonged abuse of cocaine may cause an acute paranoia that will make users withdrawn, suspicious and highly unpredictable. Alongside these tragic side effects is the likelihood of death as a result of cardiac arrest or seizures followed by respiratory failure.

Crack cocaine treatment Wyoming

Cocaine base (including coca paste, freebase cocaine, and crack cocaine) is usually smoked in pipes made of glass bowls fitted with one or more fine mesh screens that support the substance. The crack user heats the side of the bowl (usually with a lighter), and the heat causes the cocaine base to vaporize. The user inhales the cocaine-laden fumes through the pipe. Alternatively, crack cocaine can be sprinkled in cigarettes and smoked. Usually the crack is ground up and sprinkled into a marijuana joint and smoked. These cocaine laced joints are called a primos. The vapors of the freebase are absorbed through the lungs into the bloodstream and transported to the brain within 10-15 seconds. One inhalation will produce a degree of intoxication usually lasting 10-15 minutes.

While smoking remains the predominant route of crack administration in Pulse Check cities around the country. However, some sources indicate that crack is also sometimes injected or snorted. In some cities, crack is combined with other substances and injected. For example, in Washington, DC, it is reported that crack is combined with heroin and marijuana and then injected. Also, in New Orleans, crack is injected with heroin in a "speedball."

Wyoming drug problems

Methamphetamine remains popular as an illegal drug of abuse inthe state of Wyoming. The demand for meth in Wyoming has increased in the last year, while prices have remained stable. For FY 2002 methamphetamine constituted more than 82 percent of all DEA drug arrests in the state. Club drug use has also escalated throughout Wyoming. More traditional illicitdrugs, such as cocaine and marijuana, are available to users, but continue to be less popular than meth. Heroin is not popular in Wyoming.

Cocaine: Wyoming cocaine prices have remained stable, but demand for the substance has declined. Ounce quantities of cocaine are available in and around the cities of Cheyenne and Laramie. Crack can be found in Wyoming but not in significant quantities. Mexican drug trafficking organizations control most cocaine distribution in the state of Wyoming.

Heroin: Heroin does not present a significant law enforcement problem in Wyoming. Wyoming law enforcement reported only one heroin arrest for 2002. Intelligence indicates that the availibility of heroin comes from sources in the cities of Denver, Colorado and/or Ogden, Utah.

Methamphetamine: Methamphetamine remains the largest drug threat throughout the state of Wyoming, and Meth arrests exceed arrests for all other illicit substances. Clandestine meth lab seizures also increased during the last two years. Methamphetamine abuse continues to be of great concern to law enforcementin Wyoming. One of the by-products of this increased use is an increase in violent crimes, domestic violence and child abuse. Many previously identified meth users are known to engage in crimes such as burglary, larceny, and fraud to support their meth habit.

Club Drugs: Club drugs such as GHB and Ecstasy began to appear in Wyoming during 2000, and the number of club-drug related arrests have increased since then. In March 2000 several drums of various sizes containing the GHB precursor GBL were seized by the Cheyenne Police Department and the Southeast Enforcement Team. The substance was discovered by a warehouse landlord after the drums were abandoned by the tenant. Ecstasy is beginning to appear as a substance of abuse, in particular in Laramie and Cheyenne. Ecstasy is mainly purchased in tablet form, although powder is also available in very limited quantities. Wyoming Division of Criminal Investigations effected six ecstasy-related arrests. LSD and Hallucinogens: Although they compose a small market, LSD and psilocybin mushrooms continue to be popular "recreational drugs" on college campuses in Wyoming. The Wyoming Division of Criminal Investigations effected 15 arrests involving hallucinogens in 2001. DEA made no arrests and conducted no investigations involving LSD in 2001.

Marijuana: Marijuana is easily grown in the remote areas of Wyoming. Information obtained through the various intelligence sources throughout the state of Wyoming report that growers are abandoning the large outdoor cultivation sites for smaller indoor grows that are easier to maintain and conceal from law enforcement. In 2002, 222 plants from indoor grows and 32 bulk pounds of marijuana were seized. The major part of seized bulk marijuana was of Mexican origin, but there is a noticeable increase of seized marijuana originating in the province of British Columbia, Canada.

Other Drugs: The diversion of prescription controlled drugs is a growing concern. The most commonly abused licit drugs are depressants, such as Valium (diazepam) and semi-synthetic narcotic painkillers, namely; Vicodin (hydrocodone), Dilaudid (hydromorphone), and Percocet and Percodan (oxycodone). Dilaudid is the preferred substitute for heroin.

According to 2003-2004 information from the National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH), approximately 33,000 (over 7%) of Wyoming residents (ages 12 or older) reported past month use of an illicit drug.

Around 162,000 (38.7%) Wyoming citizens reported that consuming cannabis occasionally (once a month) was a “great risk”.

Additional 2003-2004 NSDUH results demonstrate that 12,000 (2.86%) Wyoming citizens reported illegal drug dependence or abuse within the past year. About 8,000 (1.88%) reported past year illicit narcotic dependence.

Juveniles

According to 2003-2004 NSDUH information, approximately 10% of Wyoming 12-17 year olds admitted past month use of an illicit drug.

In 2005, 350 cannabis plants were eradicated under the DEA’s Domestic Cannabis Eradication/Suppression Program.

In 2005, there were 9 methamphetamine labs seized in Wyoming, an important decrease from the 61 seizures in 2002.
