Tuscaloosa, Alabama has a population of 77,906 with an
average household size of 2.22. Tuscaloosa is located along the banks of the
Black Warrior River in West Central Alabama. Tuscaloosa is home to half a dozen
museums, Lake Lurleen State Park, the University of Alabama.
Tuscaloosa became an incorporated town in 1819 and in 1826
began a short 20-year stint as the state capital. During this time, huge water
oaks lined the streets of Tuscaloosa which led to the city's nickname of "The
Druid City."
In 1820, The University of Alabama was established by the
General Assembly and opened its doors in 1831. Just a few decades later, only
four of the original 14 campus buildings made it through the "Last Great
Unpleasantness" known to many as the Civil War.
Tuscaloosa, Alabama Drug Information
 According to
the DEA (The US Drug Enforcement Administration), the state of Alabama has a
continued drug threat with the widespread availability and abuse of illegal
drugs arriving from outside the state. Along with homegrown supplies of
marijuana and the increasing manufacture of methamphetamine and designer drugs.
Just during 2007, federal drug seizures in Alabama alone
included 258.8 kilograms of cocaine, 8 kilograms of methamphetamine, 906.7
kilograms of marijuana and 127 meth lab incidents. Popular street drugs such as
cocaine, methamphetamine, and marijuana comprise the bulk of drugs arriving in
and shipped through Alabama. Colombian, Mexican, and Caribbean Drug Trafficking
Organizations (DTOs), regional DTOs, as well as local DTOs and casual or
one-time traffickers are responsible for the transportation of these drugs.
Additionally, Mexican, Caribbean and regional DTOs have extensive distribution
networks within the State of Alabama. Outlaw Motorcycle Gangs are also
supplying methamphetamine on a very limited basis through their own
distribution network within the state.
With drug use comes the drug dealers and drug related
crimes. The US Department of Justice's Bureau of Justice Statistics shows just
in 2007 cities ranging from Mobile to Jackson and Tuscaloosa to Monroe have
their fair share of drug abuse issues. With over 16,000 adult possession
arrests and over 1,000 juvenile possession arrests, Alabama's jails are being
filled and the problem is not expected to get better any time soon. In fact,
just as recently as March 2008, nineteen Byrne-JAG (Justice Assistance Grant)
drug task forces from across the State of Alabama participated in a nation wide
round up of drug violators. The round up targeted drug dealers in rural and
urban neighborhoods, not addicts or users. According to the Alabama Narcotics
Association, 19 drug task forces made arrests totaling 286 persons. The
operation resulted in seizures of cocaine, methamphetamine, marijuana, 11
firearms, 24 meth labs,stolen property and $25,013.00 in US currency. 15
endangered children were also discovered and referred to the Department of
Human Resources. 36 Search warrants were executed.
State and local governments can not conduct this fight
alone. Drug trafficking is an international problem that affects the citizens
of Alabama at a neighborhood level.
Illegal drugs like cocaine, methamphetamine and marijuana
still account for the bulk of drugs flowing into Alabama . Drugs are trafficked
into Alabama via Colombian, Mexican, and Caribbean Drug Trafficking Groups
along with regional and local criminal organizations. Mexican, Caribbean and
regional criminal organizations have been found to operate extensive
distribution networks within Alabama . On a smaller scale Motorcycle Gangs are
also supplying meth through their own networks in the state. The incidence of
local Clandestine Meth Labs is increasing.

The number of workable drug abuse solutions in Tuscaloosa,
Alabama are unfortunately very limited, as most programs aren't long-term
residential and aren't results-based. This is why so many people in Tuscaloosa
looking for a successful drug rehab program are turning to the Riverbend
Retreat for answers.
In the State of Alabama, and specifically in the city of
Tuscaloosa, the effects of drug and alcohol abuse goes way past the the damage
done to the addicts themselves. In terms of time lost on the job, to the health
system inundated by illness and overdoses to communities harmed by the crime
rate caused by addicts looking to steal anything in order to get their next
fix, to families living a nightmare as they watch helplessly as their loved one
goes further down the chutes. The rollercoaster of emotions, concern and anger
seems like a never ending ride the abuser puts his friends and family through.
Failures in the past with drug rehab centers further numb the addict to any
hope of a future without drugs. It truly can appear hopeless.
What should the goal be of a drug rehab center? Clean and
sober for 30 days? While that might be a good short term goal, many treatment
centers and 12 step programs still leave the drug addict fighting a continuing
battle with addiction. Once an addict always an addict; or it's a mental
disorder they can do nothing about. When choosing a drug rehab center for
yourself or a loved one from Tuscaloosa, Alabama, it is important to become
educated on the different types of drug rehab and what the end results are.
