Georgia is a state that provides families with togetherness and today that state is plagued by substance abuse, drug rehabs and streets covered with addicts and drug trafficking. The Substance Abuse & Mental Health Services Administration has worries about each and every state because all illicit drugs are making it through the states somehow, someway. Georgia is no different. The state has problems ranging from alcohol and marijuana abuse to harder drugs like cocaine and heroin.

Substance abuse can start at an early, in many cases as young as age 12, which increases through high school and continues into adulthood. The problem with drugs is that they are easily accessible and can even be homemade. Some are quite inexpensive and can hook upper class residents as well as the middle and low classes. Drug crimes are at an all time high in the state of Georgia and the main reason is because of drugs. Gang members distribute crack cocaine and other drugs through large cities and are very territorial. This can cause gang fights between rival gangs and addicts can get caught in the crossfire.

Georgia’s location of the I-95 makes it a prime spot for drug trafficking. This state has close to 10 million residents and about 5 percent of that population is Hispanics. Illegal immigrants have aided with the drug trafficking in Georgia, making drugs highly accessible throughout the state and its largest cities. Mexican drug lords have been successful with smuggling in large quantities of marijuana, heroin, meth, and cocaine with cocaine being delivered directly to the state’s biggest crack cocaine dealers.

Every state seems to have marijuana problems, according to the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency. It is the easiest drug to get and grow in your own home. Meth, cocaine, and heroin make up the rest of the substance abuse programs in the larger metropolitan areas in Georgia. These drugs are smuggled and distributed on a daily basis and the process is not slowing down. Pharmacy drugs contribute to the problem with Vicodin at the top of the list. These drugs are not as hard to come by, as you would expect.

Georgia has large cities that create a great nightlife and parties that last until dawn and beyond. The unfortunate part is that with this type of lifestyle is that drugs can play a major role. These types of drugs are referred to as club drugs and they can lead to sexual violence and even an overdose. Club drugs include Ecstasy, Ketamine, acid and GHB.

Substance abuse does eventually lead addicts to drug and alcohol treatment and recovery centers. These drug rehabs are not just for the individual seeking treatment. The families of addicts suffer greatly and sometimes require professional counseling, one on one and with the family member that has caused them so much grief. Inpatient services offer patients more of an extensive rehab treatment although outpatient services are also available. Georgia is a state that has been ravished by many different drugs. If you are suffering get help today.
