Prescription Drugs – The Yukon Drug Problem

The leading sources of drug overdose are hydrocodone, oxycodone and alprazolam. Hydrocodone and oxycodone are powerful, addictive pain medications. Patients can become addicted even when taking these pain killers exactly as directed. In addition to relieving moderate to severe pain, hydrocodone and oxycodone produce a “high” which many people seek even after their pain has been handled and the drug is no longer needed.

Alprazolam is an anxiety and depression medication also known by the names Xanax and Niravam. It is often used as a party drug because, among other effects, it lowers a person’s inhibitions. While this can make a party more fun, it can also lead to sexual behavior that a person might not otherwise engage in. Unfortunately, it is common to overdose on Xanax, which can lead to death. In fact, in 2010 alprazolam killed 139 people in Oklahoma. In addition, in autopsies in which hydrocodone or oxycodone were found to be the cause of death, alprazolam was often found being used in combination.

Parents Turn to an Unusual Solution in the Fight Against Drugs in Yukon OK

Eight percent of Oklahomans over the age of 12 use prescription medications for non-medical purposes. This may not sound like much, but it is the worst rate of abuse in the nation. Parents are understandably worried about whether their children are using drugs. Some have turned to a rather unusual resource to determine if drugs are being hidden in their house: drug-sniffing dogs. Though this sounds extreme, parents who use highly trained dogs to search for drugs are often desperate and feel they are out of other options. Drugs can often be concealed in plain sight. Hiding locations may have parents fooled, but drug-sniffing dogs don’t rely on appearances and can hone in on a stash wherever it is. Parents will go to any lengths to prevent their children from joining the swelling ranks of drug abusers in Oklahoma.

Quite in addition to the impact drugs are having on children and adults, they are having a devastating influence on Oklahoma’s economy. In fact, a recent report estimates the total cost of Oklahoma’s drug problem at 7.2 billion dollars. That is more than the entire state budget, which tops out at 6.7 billion. Approximately 1.8 billion dollars are spent each year in expenses directly relating to drug abuse. These expenses include such things as medical bills and pay for prison staff and police. The other 5.4 billion is calculated as indirect expense from products and services never produced, additional employees hired to cover the shortcomings of drug addicts, and other such expenses. It is safe to say that Oklahoma’s drug problem is out of control. Serious, effective help is needed.
