Addiction Problems in Mansfield, Ohio

While “bath salts” seem to be the new drug of choice in Mansfield Ohio, Lieutenant Ken Coontz doesn't want the public to think bath salts are the only drugs families should be concerned about. "Although it is a terrible drug, we still have other problems," Coontz said. "Our two primary problems are still heroin and prescription medication abuse."

Sherry Branham, who serves as a director of program management and public relations for the mental health board in Mansfield, has long been emphasizing the importance of community awareness and educational programs and forums. Many of the forums have hosted panelists from diverse backgrounds, offering a variety of expertise. Some of the panelists have included counselors, social service representatives and city police crime lab directors.

As education and prevention is the first step in addressing teen addiction, Branham hopes the residents of Mansfield continue to attend community forums in high numbers in order to get a better understanding the various drug issues that surround them and threaten their community.

Communication between parents and teens is also a good beginning to prevent teen addiction. Teens who feel comfortable approaching their parents with challenging situations, peer pressure, and teen problems, are more likely to reach out to their parents, when help is needed.

Teen alcohol addiction and teen drug addiction are national problems, surfacing in every city throughout the United States. Ohio has been a state which faces problems head-on and seeks to find resolution quickly. It is comforting to read and know, the residents of Ohio are openly discussing teen addiction and seeking solutions for their youth.

Teen Prescription Addiction Treatment

Available options for effectively treating teen addiction to prescription drugs depend on the medication the teen is abusing.

Approaches to treating teen pain reliever addiction are drawn from research on treating heroin addiction, and may include medications combined with behavioral counseling. Promising new approaches include depot or long-acting formulations of medications with effects that last for weeks instead of hours or days. This approach with the opioid blocker naltrexone is showing remarkable promise in clinical trials for heroin addiction-increasing abstinence, treatment retention, and decreasing craving.

Although no medications yet exist to treat addiction to CNS depressants or to prescription stimulants, behavioral therapies proven effective in treating prescription drug addiction.

Risks of Commonly Abused Prescription Drugs Used by Teens

Opioids (used to treat pain):

• Addiction. Prescription opioids act on the same receptors as heroin and therefore can be highly addictive. People who abuse them sometimes alter the route of administration (e.g., snorting or injecting vs. taking orally) to intensify the effect; some even report moving from prescription opioids to heroin.

• Overdose. Abuse of opioids, alone or in combination with alcohol or other drugs, can depress respiration and lead to death. Overdose is a major concern: the number of fatal poisonings involving prescription pain relievers has more than tripled since 1999.

• Heightened HIV risk. Injecting opioids increases the risk of HIV and other infectious diseases through use of unsterile or shared equipment.

CNS Depressants (used to treat anxiety and sleep problems):

• Addiction and dangerous withdrawal symptoms. These drugs are addictive and, in chronic users or abusers, discontinuing them absent a physician's guidance can bring about severe withdrawal symptoms, including seizures that can be life-threatening.

• Overdose. High doses can cause severe respiratory depression. This risk increases when CNS depressants are combined with other medications or alcohol.

Stimulants (used to treat ADHD and narcolepsy):

• Addiction and other health consequences. These include psychosis, seizures, and cardiovascular complications.

The Role of Family in Adolescent Substance Abuse

In fact the role of family, positive family influence, and the structure of family helps to prevent poor peer choices in addition to poor choices or risky behaviors of substance abuse. We at Inspirations Teen Drug and Alcohol Abuse Treatment Center have compiled a series of research studies related to the Role of Family in Adolescent Substance Abuse.

Why Adolescent and Adult Addiction Treatment Methods are Different?

With a growing population of adolescents succumbing to drugs illegal substances, more and more families are finding themselves struggling to help their children get back on the right track.

When it comes to treatment methods and rehabilitation techniques, biological factors must be taken into consideration. Adolescents have smaller physiques and under developed brains; making them susceptible to addiction due to lower tolerance. Furthermore, they are less likely to voluntarily seek treatment and are often coerced by family members to do so, often resulting in deficient treatment or simply refusing help.

Distinguishing and understanding the vast differences between adolescent and adult addiction and its underlying reasons, is key to achieving effective treatment in different developmental phases and age groups.
