Louisiana Drug Intervention Services
Only a small fraction of people in Louisiana in need of drug rehab actually get the help they need. That is why a drug intervention in Louisiana may be what is needed to get your loved one into a quality addiction treatment center that can really help them.
There are five major drugs of abuse that make up 95 percent of all drug rehab admissions that may require an intervention in Louisiana. These are alcohol, opiates (mainly heroin and prescription painkillers), marijuana, cocaine and other stimulants such as methamphetamine.

South Carolina is an end user, a staging area, and transshipment state for all illegal drugs. There has been increasing evidence of organizational activity extending to major distribution hubs, such as New York City (cocaine and heroin), southern Florida (cocaine and Ecstasy (MDMA)), southern Texas/Mexico (marijuana, methamphetamine, and diverted/illicit drugs), and southern California (methamphetamine, marijuana, and cocaine). Investigations are becoming more complex and cross numerous statewide and nationwide jurisdictions. Cocaine hydrochloride (HCl) and crack cocaine abuse have long endured as South Carolina’s major drug threat; however, methamphetamine poses an increasing threat because of its cheaper cost, relative ease of production, and longer-lasting effects. Methamphetamine manufacturing and trafficking had shown a steady increase from 2002 through 2004 but decreased dramatically after new programs were enacted over the past two years. Interstate 95, “America’s Drug Pipeline,” passes through South Carolina between New York City and Miami, Florida. From Mexico and the Southwest border states, traffickers travel daily on Interstates 20 and 85 to supply Northeastern states with cocaine, marijuana, methamphetamine, Ecstasy, and heroin. Five major interstates run through the State of South Carolina: I-85, I-26, I-77, I-20, and I-95.

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.
