The rates of alcohol use and binging are among the highest in the country in the state of Minnesota. The same holds true for the least perception of risk associated with monthly use of marijuana. These statistics were generated by the National Survey on Drug Use and Health. This organization looks at substance abuse rates and mental health problems of all over the country in four primary age groups. They include those 12 and older, 12 to 17, 18 to 25 and 26 and older. Besides high incidence of alcohol use and abuse, Minnesota also ranks amongst the top 10 states in the country for past year dependence on illicit drugs and alcohol for those 12 and older, 12-17 and 26 and older.
There are roughly 263 Minnesota alcohol and drug rehabilitation centers. More than half of these are nonprofit and private. Thirty-seven percent are for-profit and private. These latter tend to be more expensive and might not be affordable for the majority of people. However, there are enough non-profit facilities which are subsidized by either the local, state or federal governments so that rehab can be cost effective for many of the people that need it to be so.
Seventy-eight percent of Minnesota drug and alcohol facilities offer outpatient care with 43% or 112 of those centers making residential care available. There are 9 facilities that have an opiate buprenorphine therapy for those addicted to opiates. For those that have insurance, 185 (nearly 70%) of Minnesota drug rehab of programs do have some type of contractual relationship or agreement with managed-care organizations so they may be able to receive treatment paid by their insurance companies.
A single day census by the N-SSATS organization found that on a single day there were over 10,000 clients in drug or alcohol rehabilitation. Seventy-two percent of these were in some of form of outpatient treatment. Eight percent were younger then 18.
In Minnesota, the rates for drug and alcohol admissions for alcohol-only has held pretty steady. There has been slight decrease but not a significant one. On the other hand there has been a very sharp increase in the amount of individuals who have entered treatment for methamphetamine use and abuse. In fact, in a period of 14 years from 1992 to 2006, it jumped about 16%. Methamphetamines use is on the rise and is becoming quite problematic here just like it is in other parts of the United States. This is also true for other types of drugs. From 1992 to 2005 individuals who are admitted to a Minnesota drug rehab facility for drug use only has tripled. To give you some perspective, the rates for alcohol-only admissions has decreased16%. Alcohol only admittances are decreasing while drug-only ones are skyrocketing.
