According to the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration, the most popular drug used in Illinois is marijuana. The state of Illinois is the center of drug trafficking for the entire Midwest of the US. Illinois has plenty of transportation ports for illicit drugs to make their way through the state. Services for package delivery and even the mail service plus commercial vans and cars with hidden compartments all have what it takes to smuggle in large quantities of drugs.

Substance abuse of any drug including alcohol and legal prescriptions drugs can lead a person down a deadly path. Treatment for alcohol and drug abuse can help a person get sober and help their families through the suffering that occurs when a family member is on drugs. In Illinois, there are many drugs for a person to become mixed up in and, unfortunately, marijuana is the drug that can be mixed with others like cocaine, heroin, and even alcohol. Marijuana is grown both indoors and outdoors and its productivity has been on an increase. Other marijuana being sold in Illinois is trafficked in by Mexican organizations.

Cocaine is another drug that is heavily smuggled in by Mexican organizations and distributed throughout large cities in Illinois such as Chicago. Heroin is also another popular drug that is smuggled in its white form. The drug is less potent than on the east coast. Even though the drug may not be as potent, it is still very addicting and can lead down the path to a drug rehab center. Methamphetamine is a drug that has taken over parts of Illinois. This drug is so scary to communities because it can be made in home based labs and trafficked in from Mexican organizations as well as distributed by Hispanic street gangs and motorcycle gangs.

For meth production, over the counter medications that contain ephedrine can be used for home production of the drug. Other prescription drugs are heavily abused throughout the Illinois area. Valium and Oxycontin are two of the drugs that are quite popular. These drugs can be obtained through multiple doctor visits and even internet orders. Club drugs, like Ecstasy, are used on a regular basis in the state. Club drugs, as they are called, are periodically handed out at parties and raves and encourage users by promising an all night party experience. PCP, Ketamine, and GHB are also popular.

The Substance Abuse & Mental Health Services Administration warns families and communities of drugs and their devastating consequences on every person involved. In Illinois there are drug and alcohol programs that offer inpatient and outpatient options. The inpatient option often is more extensive and allows the individual to get one on one treatment in an intimate setting.

Drug and alcohol treatment and recovery centers can also help families with this disease. Often time’s families do not even know what drugs are being abused and how certain drugs can be found right inside a medicine cabinet. Drugs tear apart families and friends and substance abuse should not be ignored. Get help today. It could save your life.
