Arizona Drug Intervention Services
Only a small fraction of people in Arizona in need of drug rehab actually get the help they need. That is why a drug intervention in Arizona may be what is needed to get your loved one into a quality addiction treatment center that can really help them.
Arizona serves primarily as a drug importation and transshipment state. Drug smuggling and transportation are dominated by major Mexican trafficking organizations. These groups are poly-drug organizations smuggling cocaine, marijuana, methamphetamine, heroin and precursor chemicals.
There are five major drugs of abuse that make up 95 percent of all drug rehab admissions that may require an intervention in Arizona. These are alcohol, opiates (mainly heroin and prescription painkillers), marijuana, cocaine and other stimulants such as methamphetamine.

Arizona is directly north of the Mexican State of Sonora, a major trafficker stronghold which has experienced a significant increase in violence associated with drug smuggling over the past year. Along the 350 mile Arizona/Mexico border are three principal ports of entry (Nogales, Douglas, and San Luis) and three secondary ports of entry (Lukeville, Sasabe, and Naco). Most of the border area consists of inhospitable desert and steep mountain ranges, which are sparsely populated, infrequently patrolled by law enforcement, and ideal for drug smuggling.
Our drug intervention specialists are expert at addressing the situation with the addict as well as the family to help determine who shoudl be involved, how it the situation should be approached and what the best overall way would be to help get the addict's agreement to enter into a drug rehab program.
Has the addict already been to treatment before? This is a common problem. Unfortunately there are many addiction treatment centers that have very low success rates. We can help you find a more effective drug rehab program to inrease your loved one's chances at staying drug-free and get them to realize that there is a way out.
An imortant piece of information for you to have is that, contrary to popular opinion, alcoholism and other drug addiction is not an incurable disease. People become cured from this ailment every single day and never go back to using drugs or alcohol. In addition, giving substitute drugs to addicts will never solve the problem. Sure, a prescription here or there might temporarily treat the symptoms and make them feel better, but their body and mind will still be dependent on drugs to function in life and they will therefore always be looking for drugs as a solution to life's problems.
