Nevada NV Drug Rehab and Alcohol Treatment Nevada



NV Drug Rehab


The State of Nevada is known for attracting people to the nightlife and the entertainment of Las Vegas. Unfortunately, it has also brought drug traffickers. Almost all illicit drugs are available in the area, with methamphetamine the most common. Cocaine, marijuana, heroin, and club drugs can also be found. Most drugs are brought into Nevada from nearby California. Nevada serves as a major hub of transshipment of drug distributed across the rest of the United States.



Substance Abuse Prevention


DEA Mobile Enforcement Teams have been established in response to the overwhelming problem of drug-related violent crime in towns and cities across the nation. Local law enforcement agencies have been identifying areas of high traffic in Nevada and have been successful at combating the influx of drug trafficking in southern Nevada. In order to alleviate the meth problem, the Task Force also regulates and monitors domestic trafficking organizations and career criminal enterprises which are involved in the manufacture, transport, and distribution of methamphetamine.

Drug Laws


Over the past decade, Nevada has reversed its approach to marijuana offenses. In 1996 and 1998, voters approved an initiative legalizing the medicinal use of marijuana. Legislation was recommended to reduce the penalty for possession of small amounts of marijuana for personal use from a felony to a misdemeanor in June, 2000. In November, 2000 voters approved the medical marijuana initiative a second time (under Nevada law, initiatives have to be approved twice before taking effect). In 2001, the legislature passed legislation implementing the medical marijuana initiative and decriminalizing small amounts of marijuana for personal use.

Cocaine Addiction and Drug Treatment Nevada


The State of Nevada is no different from the majority of other states when talking about the number of individuals addicted to cocaine or crack cocaine. The majority of available cocaine is brought into the area from California and converted into crack, repackaged and distributed. Most of the distributors consist of members of street gangs that operate out of the motels. Crack cocaine has been associated with other illegal activities such as money laundering, homicide, prostitution, and inner city impoverishment.

Heroin Addiction and Nevada Addiction Treatment


Mexican black tar heroin is the predominant type available in the State of Nevada. As the Hispanic migrant population increases in the area, so has the amount of Mexican heroin. It is believed that the drug cartels are using the Hispanic migrant population to distribute heroin. There is also a presence of Asian immigrants in the area and a variety of Asian heroin is now also available.

Methamphetamine Addiction and Nevada Drug Rehab


As in other states, methamphetamine is the most frequent drug abused in the State of Nevada. It is widely available throughout the area. Meth is produced locally in clandestine laboratories and recently very large meth labs have been identified as operating in the area. The majority of the meth labs are operated by the Mexicans who monopolize the large-scale meth trade in the area. Meth is also brought into the area from California and the states along the Mexican border.



Club Drugs and Nevada Addiction Treatment


The State of Nevada, known for its night life and nocturnal entertainment, has led to high levels of use and abuse of club drugs, or synthetic drugs. These drugs consist of MDMA (which is the active ingredient in Ecstasy), gamma-Hydroxybutyric acid (commonly known as GHB), and d-lysergic acid diethylamide (commonly known as LSD). These drugs are trafficked into the area from California and found in local nightclubs, adult entertainment clubs, and raves. The City of Las Vegas is a point of importation and transshipment for Asian drug trafficking organizations to transport significant amounts of MDMA into the state.

Marijuana Addiction and Drug Treatment


Marijuana is widely available in the State of Nevada due to its growth in remote large forest areas that make it difficult for law enforcement to discover. It is also commonly smuggled into the area from Mexico.

Pharmaceutical Drugs and Drug Rehab


The use and abuse of prescription drugs is on the rise in the State of Nevada. These drugs include OxyContin, Valium, Xanax, Methadone, Codeine, Fentanyl and Lortab. These pharmaceutical drugs are obtained by forged prescriptions, patients getting prescriptions from more than one doctor (referred to as “doctor shopping”), pharmacy break-ins, and from the internet. Addictionally, pseudoephedrine sales are reported down since a new law banned the addition of pseudoephedrine to cough mixtures.
