Meth: Drug of choice for 19 percent of Illinois Recovery Resources' clientsWhen Recovery Resources was founded in Illinois in 1965, its primary purpose was to provide services for alcohol abusers.
Times have changed.
Alcohol is the drug preference for just 47 percent of the Illinois agency’s clients, and treatment for addictions to methamphetamine, cocaine, crack, marijuana and other drugs has become a major focus.
Methamphetamine is the fastest growing drug of choice.
In 1995, meth was the drug preference for just 21 clients, or 3 percent of Recovery Resources’ caseload. But in 2003, that jumped to 112 clients — 14 percent of the agency’s caseload.
“Methamphetamine is a constantly growing drug in this area,” said Matt Bergman, marketing director for Recovery Resources and Family Resource Center.
In addition to the 112 clients who say meth is their drug preference, 38 others, who claim another substance as their primary drug, also use meth. That means meth users make up about 19 percent of the caseload, Bergman said.
“They’re a totally different type of client,” he added.
In April 1999, the Illinois Department of Human Services/Office of Alcoholism and Substance Abuse awarded a contract to Recovery Resources and the Wells Center in Jacksonville, Illinois to address the state’s growing meth problem.
The grant provided additional staff to deal with the increasing number of meth users being treated, and allowed Recovery Resources to develop a manual for treatment professionals.
“People are now recognizing our agency as experts in meth treatment,” Bergman said. In addition to treating area residents, “we’re getting clients from St. Louis and Chicago.”
Dr. Michael Richardson, associate director for clinical services at Recovery Resources, wrote the treatment manual.
Richardson groups meth together with other high-intensity stimulant drugs such as crack, cocaine and smokable heroine. He says treating people’s addictions to these substances is much different than the approach for alcohol abusers.
“They are more of a behavioral problem than clients we had to deal with in the past,” Richardson said.
High-intensity stimulant users tend to be impulsive and prone to outbursts.
A residential program is a key in treating meth users, he said. In order to stop using the drug, the person initially needs to be removed from any “cues” that could lead him or her back to drug use.
“It may involve things such as having large amounts of money available at a particular time, certain types of music, friendships and relationships,” Richardson said. “Those cues are extremely powerful and set into motion a whole series of things that lead the person back to using the chemicals.”
The physical craving for meth is powerful, he added, and the withdrawal from the drug produces “extremely intense” symptoms.
Richardson says another key in both residential and outpatient treatment is to re-teach clients how to solve problems, improve communication skills and build positive relationships.
People who use meth usually have a long history of poor relationships.
“They have poor focus, may have been hyperactive as a small child and fail at school because they can’t control impulses,” Richardson said.
He says meth use is mainly a rural phenomenon.
“Five or six years ago, old farm houses and out-of-the-way rural spots became easy for people to set up operations in those areas with little intrusion from the outside,” he said.
A training session on methamphetamine safety and awareness is aimed at educating the public about the problem. It is scheduled for 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Friday in Quincy University’s North Campus Auditorium at 18th and Seminary Road.
People will be informed about the patterns of meth use, how it impacts the community, how to spot a meth lab and how to help drug-endangered children.
The cost is $10 with lunch included. For information, call Bergman at 224-6300.
