Urban
People tend to loop drug addicts into one big group and they tend to think that the urban areas are more drug infested and the rural areas. This is not the case as a matter of fact, there are more prescription drug abuse in the rural teens.
In the 2008 National Survey on Drug Use and Health, which included nearly 18,000 adolescents, 13.0% of rural teens reported nonmedical use of prescription drugs at some point in their lives, compared with 11.5% of respondents living in suburban or small metropolitan-area counties and 10.3% of those in urban areas (P=0.02), according to Jennifer Havens, PhD, MPH, of the University of Kentucky in Lexington, Ky., and colleagues.
Drug addiction doesn’t pick and choose depending on the area, it effects everyone no matter where they live.
Drug addiction treatment sees people from all walks of life and from all locations throughout the United States.
