There has recently been a study by US Drug Trends, who looked specifically at public perception on addiction or substance abuse in Clarksville, TN. The results were shocking to public health professionals, and their reaction was to develop new strategies that aim to function as an intervention - helping people to avoid substance abuse in the first place - and as a solution - helping people get the treatment they need. Clarksville wants to ensure that barriers to finding treatment, including rehab and detox, are removed as much as possible.
US Drug Trends Results
What the study by US Drug Trends demonstrated for Clarksville was that:
Clarksville Studies on Drug and Alcohol Abuse
As a result of these results, public health officials in Clarksville attempted to paint a clearer picture of the extend of the problem with drug and alcohol abuse within its borders. They surveyed the 116,465 residents, and determined that some 27,952 people indeed consume alcohol to levels that would be considered as problematic. Furthermore, they found that 10,381 people currently abuse illicit drugs. Many of these also use alcohol. The three greatest drug threats in Clarksville were found to be cannabis, heroin, and cocaine (crack and powder).
The Clarksville Approach
Based on the above results, Clarksville put a number of intervention and outreach programs in place. Those programs are designed to stop people from turning to substances in the first place. This is particularly targeted at young people and their families, with community organizations and schools taking the lead on providing advice, information, and guidance not just on the dangers of substance abuse, but also on alternatives.
At the same time, Clarksville has looked at making addiction treatment more accessible. Financial resources are a significant barrier to accessing detox and rehab facilities. As a result, Clarksville has sponsored a number of new treatment facilities where people can turn to. Here, they can receive medically managed detox, which can be very important in terms of avoiding the sometimes dangerous withdrawal effects. Once they have detoxed, both inpatient and outpatient rehab facilities are available for them, where they can receive intensive counseling, therapy, and other skills training. Once patients have completed rehab, they are provided with aftercare, including further counseling, 12 step programs, and sober living facilities.
By trying, as much as possible, to decriminalize substance abuse, Clarksville hopes to encourage more people to seek the treatment that they need. In so doing, people will be able to regain their health and happiness, and once again become contributing members of the community.
