Massachusetts Drug Statistics
Heroin was the highest percentage of primary drug used for treatment admission in Massachusetts, followed by alcohol and then other opiates, such as prescription painkillers.
In March of 2005 Massachusetts had 309 drug and alcohol rehab facilities serving over 35,000 clients. Approximately 94% of the drug rehab centers in Massachusetts are privately-operated programs, with the remaning number of treatment programs being run by state and federal government agencies.
Only 6% of the people receiving drug and alcohol treatment in Massachusetts were in a long-term residential rehab, despite evidence of a greater addiction recovery rate, with 88% attending outpatient services. Due to the high rate of opiate abuse, a very large number of heroin addicts have been diverted to methadone programs - about 29% of the total Massachusetts treatment population. Clearly this has not worked though.
The average number of beds per Massachusetts drug rehab center was 29 for residential services, with those facilities operating at near capacity.
About 71% of substance abuse clients in Massachusetts are male and 29% female. Approximately 73% are caucasion.
Regardless of what substance you or your loved one is abusing in Massachusetts, Addiction Help Services can help you find the right drug rehab program for your situation.
