Indiana is a beautiful state with scenic views and a big drug problem. Lake Michigan is located in Indiana and provides international drug organizations with shipping and smuggling along the waterway. There are 20 U.S. highways and 7 interstate highway systems available for drug trafficking all along the state of Indiana. Cars and trucks with hidden compartments are used for smuggling as well as airplanes and buses on occasion.
The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration lists Indiana as a state that is quite active with drug transportation and distribution with all different types of drugs, including cocaine, crystal meth, heroin, marijuana, club drugs, and even prescription drugs. Some of the drugs are homemade and some are smuggled in. Whichever the case the drugs are still being used heavily and are easily accessible.
In Indiana, Mexican criminal groups are the ones often responsible for wholesale distribution of methamphetamine, powder cocaine, and marijuana. Powder cocaine is a drug that is highly available in Indiana. Its rock form, called crack cocaine, also has its place in the state, but it remains in urban areas. The price of cocaine has increased while its potency has decreased. This has led many to other drugs. Heroin is available in Indiana, but on a small scale. Hispanic organizations control the transportation and distribution as well as the selling of the drug.
Crystal meth is a great threat because it is smuggled in by Mexican trafficking organizations and is also produced in small, lethal labs that reside in farms or small residences. Club drugs, like ecstasy, are not a threat to the state as of the time of this writing. Marijuana is the most abused and easiest to obtain in Indiana. The drug is smuggled in through Mexican organizations and grown in indoor and outdoor facilities. Southern Indiana is home to many hilly wooded areas that offer a great location for growing marijuana outdoors. From the sky, the marijuana plants cannot be seen due to the overgrowth of trees and shrubbery.
The Substance Abuse & Mental Health Services Administration is concerned with the initial use of alcohol and marijuana that leads young people into a drug world that is hard to leave once drug abuse and drug addiction is a way of life. Drug rehabs were created to help people suffering from alcohol or drug abuse. The hardest part is that most families are unaware of the abuse and the users do not want to admit that there is a problem. Substance abuse can start with weekend parties filled with alcohol and pills, which often lead to serious, devastating consequences.
Treatment for drug and alcohol abuse is available for everyone. Drug rehabs can be state funded or non-profit meaning that every addict can get help regardless of their financial situation. Some drug and alcohol treatment and recovery centers offer inpatient and outpatient service depending on an individual’s situation. Inpatient recovery is far more extensive that outpatient. Families can even be counseled for dealing with a substance abuser.
Drug rehab is not guaranteed to work, may require longer stays, and in many cases more than one visit. Talking with a professional can help an addict to see the error of their ways and get them on the road to sobriety.
If you are suffering from substance abuse, seek a treatment center today.
