Why Drug Addiction Is So Huge In Ireland?
Question by YaroElf: Why Drug Addiction Is So Huge In Ireland?
Just simple curiosity…
I stumbled upon an article from some Irish website that claimed that in 2011 80% of
Irish drink beer daily or once in two days. An average pub crawl night for an Irish is 3L of beer or more.
Also it claimed that 50% of Northern Irish teens between ages 12-21 use illegal drugs daily
and consume 5+ beers each Friday.
What source did this information could be coming from? Is that even true?
Coming from my personal experience, when I went to High School in Canada, 99% of my underage friends did numerous illegal drugs daily and got drunk at least once in 48hours (till some began to puke) in the parks, inside dark movie theaters, house parties, during the school lunch, and after school at 4:20. I thought it was all normal. Next I had to move for my Grade12 to another High School ’cause my family moved, and I was surprised that in the new place 90% never had a beer or a cigarette. I was shocked. Next year I went to College and I was very surprised that most on campus didn’t use drugs or alcohol as much as I experienced back in the first High School. I guess I went to a ghetto High School. Of course over 50% of my ex-friends from the past didn’t go to College. I’m not showing off. I’m curious about Drug Problems In Ireland.
I’m talking here about NORTHERN IRELAND
According to the article posted in Sept. 2011 UN announced according to the statistic that Ireland has the 1st place in Europe in Alcohol consumption and Drug problems(mostly Cannabis, LSD, Heroine). I know what an addiction means and the article specifically said that 80% of Northern Irish drink every day or once in two days forever. If you r an Irish, don’t be offended because Russia and Ukraine and Crezh Republic and Poland and China have much worse drug/alcohol problems.
Now should I move to Ireland? I love beer….
Oh yes I forgot to add: apparently the cannabis consumption grew from 10% during mid 90s to 50% of population in 2011(Every second person is a stoner? C’mon). It said one headshop opens up every new week. Some Irish Freedom Organization bombed the Nirvana Headshop last month because they think headshops are evil.

Alcohol is very normal in Ireland. Every body drinks. Its how family and friends celebrate. Its just how things are done.
With the drugs its the same all over the world. Good people getting into bad habbits.

Answer by Jade I
Yes a rehab I have been to over 7 in my life for alcohol. A rehab is where someone goes to get off drugs/alcohol. It is a safe setting to work with a team of highly educated Dr’s and staff. There are groups throughout the day. rehabs deal with other stuff to besides the drugs/alcohol. Like depression,eating disorders, PTSD, bio-polar disorder etc. depending on the rehab they can give out medications.
When you say that she is going for an interview that means that she will sit down with someone at the rehab and discuss what her issues are. They will make the decision if she would fit in their program..(if she needs treatment or not) Yes she will be able to call you and see you. Most rehabs have a 2 week policy of no phone calls/visitation rule. ( to let the patient focus on the program.) About the bed Sometimes there is a waiting list for a bed but the rehab will give her a time frame on how long.
A normal day at a rehab is wake up at 6:30am . Morning meditation, a room with other people. Lasts like 15 minutes. then breakfast @7:30am. First group is at 9 am. last anywhere from 1 hr-1- 1/2.hr Then there is a small break then you do this through out the entire day. Sometimes depending on where she is going there will be free time in the afternoon or Art therapy. She is most likely going to an AA/NA program. They go to outside meetings. and revolve their stay around Alcholic and Narcotics Anomymous . They have a Big book where they will read passages from a book. they will work the 12 steps. The first step is “To admit that we are powerless over Drugs/alchol. “And that our lives have become unmanagable”
About the half way house: It is not Necessary for eveyone. But depending on who she is and what has occured. The rehab will make that decission at the end of her program. Most rehabs last anywhere from 1 month to 3.
Don’t worry about her if she is in a rehab she will be safe and supported.. And be in a healthy environment. Just stand by her and support her
