The City of Little Rock, Arkansas has a population of
183,133 with an average household size of 2.30. Little Rock is located in
Pulaski County and is the capital of Arkansas.
The Arkansas River borders Little Rock at the foothills of
the Ouachita Mountains. Little Rock is home to the William J. Clinton
Presidential Center & Park, University of Arkansas, Little Rock Zoo, Little
Rock Marathon, and the Pinnacle Mountain State Park.
Unfortunately Little Rock also has a continuing drug abuse
problem with marijuana, cocaine and methamphetamine, to name a few.
Little Rock, Arkansas Drug Information
 The DEA (The US Drug Enforcement
Administration) reports crack cocaine, as well as powder cocaine, has continued
to be significant and long-term problems in the state, especially in the inner
cities. Although cocaine use has been surpassed by methamphetamine use, it is
the foremost concern of law enforcement authorities considering its impact on
communities in terms of violent crime, including homicides, principally by
street gangs. The ready availability of cocaine and the movement of street
gangs beyond traditional areas of operation have led to the spread of crack to
many suburban and rural areas. Crack’s explosive growth and dominance can
be attributed to the drug’s wide availability, inexpensive price,
simplicity of conversion from powdered cocaine hydrochloride, and its addictive
properties. Rates of crack cocaine abuse are high and concentrated in the black
communities. Distribution points for crack include Little Rock, Texarkana, El
Dorado, Hot Springs, and Dumas. Cocaine is transported into Arkansas in both
powder and crack form.
Heroin trafficking patterns in central Arkansas are
difficult to discern, as there have been so few investigations of this type.
What little tar heroin is encountered in central Arkansas appears to be
imported into the state by the Mexican trafficking organizations already in
existence.
MDMA is the most prevalent and popular club drug in
Arkansas. Other dangerous drugs increasing in popularity and demand throughout
Arkansas include LSD, OxyContin and GHB. These dangerous drugs are commonly
found and continue to be the drugs of choice at “rave” functions and
college hangouts throughout the state, especially in the highly populated areas
of Arkansas.
Sources in California transport LSD to the Little Rock and
Fayetteville areas for redistribution. LSD is sold in several different forms
including blotter paper and small vials of liquid. Shipments are also mailed
through the U.S. Postal Service and commercial shipping companies.
Marijuana is in high demand and readily available throughout
Arkansas. Marijuana grown in Mexico and domestically produced marijuana are
both popular in the state.
Current investigations indicate that diversion of
hydrocodone products such as Vicodin® and oxycodone products such as
OxyContin®, as well as morphine and pseudoephedrine, continues to be a
problem in Arkansas. Primary methods of diversion being reported are illegal
sale and distribution by healthcare professionals and workers, “doctor
shopping” (going to a number of doctors to obtain prescriptions for a
controlled pharmaceutical), forged prescriptions, employee theft, pharmacy
theft, and the Internet. Demerol® and Dilaudid® were also identified as
being among the most commonly abused and diverted pharmaceuticals in Arkansas.

The number of workable drug abuse solutions in Little Rock,
Arkansas are unfortunately very limited, as most programs aren't long-term
residential and aren't results-based. This is why so many people in Little Rock
looking for a successful drug rehab program are turning to the Riverbend
Retreat for answers.
In the State of Arkansas, and specifically in the city of
Little Rock, 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 Little Rock, Arkansas, it is important to become
educated on the different types of drug rehab and what the end results are.
