Until recently alcohol substance abuse in Amarillo has been the biggest reason for consistently high admissions to
Amarillo treatment centers. But as medical marijuana laws are passed by many states, the public's outlook on marijuana
abuse has shifted and become more tolerant. As a result marijuana abuse and addiction is prevalent and more people
are seeking marijuana addiction treatment in Texas. Amarillo alcohol and
drug rehab centers are filling up with addicts trying to handle not only overcome addictions to alcohol and marijuana, but
methamphetamine and prescription drugs too.
Alcohol and Drugs and the dangers they impose are part of Amarillo resident's way of life and this really should be
considered. To do this we need to look toward the future and what is going in the way of alcohol and substance in
Amarillo and its youth. According to the Amarillo Independent School District (AISD) 2009 Texas Prevention Impact Index
(TPII) Survey results, the top three reasons cited by middle and high school students to use Alcohol, Tobacco and Other
Drugs (ATOD) is to see what it is like, have a good time, and relax or feel less tense. In other words to handle some sort of
problem pertaining to boredom or stress.

involvement in drug/health education classes is 33% at the high school level and 44% for the middle school level. Further
