Midland, Texas, is known for two things. Firstly, it is famous the world over for its gas and oil development. Secondly, it is the Bush family's home town. In fact, George W. Bush himself lived there for quite some time, working within its gas and oil industry. What Midland is not known for, however, is its drug and alcohol abuse problem. But that does not mean that it doesn't have such a problem.

The Midland Response

 

Midland has put four main initiatives in place in order to address the problem of drug and alcohol abuse:

 

  1. They have set up various intervention programs targeted specifically at young people and their families. It is hoped that these programs will teach people about the inherent dangers of substance abuse, while at the same time providing them with healthy alternatives.
  2. They have invested in state-sponsored detox and rehab facilities, focusing on both outpatient and residential rehab.
  3. They have invested in significant aftercare programs, so that those who have gone through the process of detox and rehab to deal with their addiction are supported in continuing on the road to recovery, thereby avoiding relapse.
  4. They have started various drug courts, with the motto "Life Skills in the Making". Uniquely, Midland is also home to a teen drug court. Drug courts exist to order people into treatment and, if they complete their treatment, their criminal charges will be dropped. This has had very good success rates, particularly because there is a strong focus on skill building as well.

 

Midland, TX, aims to combat its drug and alcohol problem in full, working towards a drug free city. To date, their efforts have been reasonably successful. Most importantly, treatment is available for those who need it. This ensures that they can regain the health and happiness they deserve, while at the same time becoming contributing members of society.
