Methamphetamine, specifically crystal methamphetamine produced in Mexico and imported into the state, has become the principal drug of concern in Nevada. In addition, cocaine, particularly crack cocaine, is a significant problem in the urban areas of the state. Due to its close proximity to California and its porous border, Nevada often serves as a transshipment point for various drugs to the central and eastern sections of the United States. There has also been a significant increase in deaths (total of 107 for all of CY06) attributed to diverted pharmaceuticals.
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.
