Arkansas Crystal Meth Rehab Information

Arkansas Crystal Meth Addiction

Methamphetamine is widely available in Arkansas due to its border along Texas. Mexican Drug Trafficking Organizations, as well as western states import the drug and are the primary source of wholesale distribution of high quality "Crystal Meth" for the entire state. Independent dealers, street gangs, and other criminal groups control distribution at the retail level. 24 out of 24 Law enforcement officers surveyed in 2002 stated that methamphetamine abuse was high in their jurisdiction. The number of admissions to treatment facilities in the state for help regarding Methamphetamine rose a whopping 64 percent from 1998 to year 2002, as well as an 80 percent increase in admissions for other amphetamine use. The range in purity of the drug is commonly sold as low as 29-35 percent pure, which most likely happens after the process of transfer from wholesale to retail dealer.
