Durham, North Carolina Drug Information
 According to the DEA (The US Drug
Enforcement Administration), over the past several years, North Carolina has
experienced a significant increase in drug-trafficking activity. This increased
activity is due in part to an unprecedented influx of foreign nationals into
the state and, secondarily, to the network of U.S. Interstate highways
connecting North Carolina to northern Georgia and elsewhere along the U.S.
Eastern Seaboard. North Carolina has one of the fastest growing populations: It
is currently the 10 th most populated state in the United States.
The U.S. Census Bureau had estimated the population at
nearly 9.1 million during 2007 and projected that by 2025 the state will have
11.4 million residents, ranking it as the 8 th largest state in the nation. One
of the factors fueling the population growth is the especially high rate of
migration of Spanish-speaking, specifically Mexican, nationals to the state.
The Mexican population had traditionally been a migrant population that worked
in the agriculture-based industries, but now is a permanent segment of the
population, capitalizing on the many job opportunities available in the state.
Though most immigrants themselves are not involved in drug trafficking, their
presence allows Mexican drug-trafficking organizations (DTOs) to conceal their
activities within immigrant communities in numerous North Carolina counties,
frequently conducting local parceling to mid-level Caucasian and
African-American distributors as well as to out-of-state distributors. Mexican
DTOs most commonly transport and distribute cocaine, marijuana,
methamphetamine, and heroin.
According to the National Substance Abuse Index, the
Charlotte District Office's areas of responsibility include Asheville,
Charlotte, Greensboro, Raleigh and Wilmington.
Cocaine is readily available in North Carolina. The
preferred method of trafficking cocaine into North Carolina is by couriers who
exploit the interstate highway network. Crack cocaine in North Carolina is
readily available in both the larger cities and the rural towns.
The heroin market in North Carolina is not very prevalent
except for small pockets of users and distributors reported in the larger
cities to include Durham, Greenville, High Point and Rocky Mount.
Methamphetamine use in North Carolina is increasing in
popularity. Local law enforcement sources report there are many undiscovered
clandestine laboratories in the Greensboro area and traffickers are actively
seeking chemists.
The Club Drugs that are most popular in North Carolina are
MDMA, GHB and LSD. With more than 50 four-year colleges and universities in
North Carolina, there is a large potential market for club drugs.
Marijuana from both Mexican and local sources continues to
be abundantly available in North Carolina. The majority of marijuana available
in North Carolina is smuggled across the U.S. border from Mexico and
transported to its destination within the state.
There have been six DEA Mobile Enforcement Team deployments
in the State of North Carolina since the inception of the program, namely to
Monroe, Kinston, Durham, Lumberton, Rocky Mount, and Durham. There have also
been two Regional Enforcement Teams in North Carolina since 2005.

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