Saint Jude's will give you hope that you CAN overcome heroin

If you have tried other drug rehab facilities in Hawaii and are feeling lost, the Saint Jude's Program can bring you back to life. At the Saint Jude Retreats, there is a solution; by empowering our guests we give them back their confidence and teach them the truth about addiction. What we mean regarding addition is that it is a learned behavior and not a disease. Our guests learn how to cope without heroin in a normal environment and our staff help them set goals to move on to a life of success and joy.

Surveys preformed by The White House Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP) revealed that, 566 or 1.8% of Hawaii's 31,233 Drug and Alcohol abusers admitted themselves into treatment for heroin. Studies also show that 175,000 or 2.5% of Hawaii's citizens reported needing but not receiving treatment for illicit drug and alcohol use in the past year. There were also studies that show 2.4% of high school students had used heroin at some point in their lives. Heroin availability remains stable throughout Atlanta. Seizures of street level amounts of heroin attest to the pervasiveness and the availability of the drug. Although heroin trafficking at times appears relatively low and stable throughout most of Hawaii, there are regions where heroin abuse appears to be climbing. The sources of supply reportedly are located in Chicago, New York, and at the southwest border. The Atlanta High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area report indicates more Hispanic involvement in heroin trafficking. Local law enforcement agencies in some outlying metro Atlanta counties indicate that heroin is becoming an increasing problem for their jurisdictions.
