Joliet, Illinois Drug Information
 The state of Illinois is faced with a
two-pronged methamphetamine problem. First, large quantities of methamphetamine
produced by Mexico-based Drug Trafficking Organizations are transported to the
state. Mexican drug trafficking organizations transport methamphetamine into
Illinois mostly from California and Mexico. They use the same distribution
channels used for other drugs. Outlaw motorcycle gangs and Hispanic street
gangs control the retail distribution of methamphetamine. There is increasing
evidence that methamphetamine is being distributed in the Chicago area, most
likely the result of rising availability of the drug as more Mexico-produced
methamphetamine destined for markets in other areas transits Chicago. Second,
small-scale methamphetamine laboratories have proliferated greatly in many
areas of the state. Methamphetamine is the principal drug of concern in the
rural areas of central and southern Illinois.
Chicago is unique among American cities in that heroin from
all four source areas-South America, Southeast Asia, Southwest Asia, and to a
lesser extent Mexico-is available on a consistent basis from year to year.
Mexico-based drug trafficking organizations transport
metric-ton quantities of cocaine from the southwest border into
Illinois—primarily to Chicago—on a regular basis.
Because of its status as an international transportation and
trade center, Chicago remains a distribution point for organizations involved
in trafficking club drugs, such as MDMA (ecstasy), GHB, Ketamine, and PCP. As
in other divisions across the nation, the DEA CFD is aggressively targeting
dangerous drug traffickers internationally and domestically. Regionally,
Chicago serves as a secondary source area for club drugs distributed throughout
the Midwest.
Current investigations indicate that diversion of
hydrocodone products such as Vicodin®, oxycodone products such as
OxyContin®, and pseudoephedrine continues to be a problem in Illinois.
Primary methods of diversion being reported are illegal sale and distribution
by health care professionals and workers, “doctor shopping” (going to
a number of doctors to obtain prescriptions for a controlled pharmaceutical).
Benzodiazepines (such as alprazolam), methylphenidate, and methadone were also
identified as being among the most commonly abused and diverted pharmaceuticals
in Illinois.

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