The
Need for Drug Rehabs in Iowa
According to the DEA, cocaine continues to be readily available throughout
Iowa. Purity levels for cocaine decreased from 84% in 1998
to 74% during 2002
.
Heroin is sporadically available in retail-level quantities throughout the
urban areas of Iowa.
Methamphetamine is the primary drug of concern in Iowa. During the 1990's, methamphetamine replaced cocaine as the "drug of choice" for many of Iowa's illicit drug users. Purity levels of methamphetamine in Iowa have decreased from $90% in 1995 to 16% during 2002. By the end of state fiscal year 2003, 4,605 locks were installed in Iowa to prevent the theft of anhydrous ammonia (used in the production of meth) from agricultural nurse tanks.
Marijuana is readily available throughout eastern and northwestern Iowa, and is usually available in combination with cocaine and/or meth. Domestically produced marijuana is available in Iowa and small indoor and outdoor grow operations have been found in eastern and central Iowa. “Ditchweed” marijuana, which is used as filler for higher purity imported marijuana, is a continuing problem.
Club Drugs - The abuse of club drugs, such as MDMA and GHB, is increasing in Iowa. MDMA is encountered at rave parties in eastern and central Iowa. The state crime lab has reported an increase in the number of MDMA exhibits being processed.
Diverted Pharmaceuticals - Vicodin, Lortab, propoxyphene, alprazolam, hydrocodone, Ultram, diazepam, Hycodan, Demerol, Dilaudid, and Percodan are the most popular pharmaceutical substances abused in eastern and central Iowa. These drugs are diverted through fraudulent prescriptions, doctor shopping, pharmacy break-ins, and hospital thefts. OxyContin is also noted to be a pharmaceutical drug of abuse in Iowa.
There are approximately 25,000 annual admissions to drug rehab and addiction treatment facilities in Iowa, however, due to the high relapse rate of many traditional programs most families are searching for something that works.
