The state of Georgia is both a final destination point for drug shipments and a smuggling corridor for drugs transported along the East Coast.
Georgia is strategically located on the I-95 corridor between New York City and Miami, the key wholesale-level drug distribution centers on the East Coast, I-85 towards North and South Carolina and other major drug importation hubs. In addition, Interstate Highway 20 runs directly into Georgia from drug entry points along the southwest border and the Gulf Coast. The city of Atlanta has become an important strategic point for drug-trafficking organizations (DTOs) as it is the largest city in the South and is a nexus for all East/West and North/South travel. The Mexico-U.S. Southwest Border area continues to be the primary source and staging area for Cocaine, Methamphetamine, Marijuana, and Heroin introduced into Georgia.

Marijuana: Marijuana, the most commonly abused drug in Georgia, is readily available throughout the state. Mexico and the Southwest Border are the usual sources of Marijuana imported and distributed in Georgia.
Cocaine: Cocaine hydrochloride (HCl) and crack Cocaine continue to have the greatest negative impact throughout Georgia. DEA investigations and other source reporting indicate that Cocaine trafficking organizations are experiencing difficulty receiving Cocaine from their Mexican and Latin suppliers. The shortage of supply is attributed to the increased commitment and successes of domestic and international law enforcement and military personnel in their efforts to impede the flow of illicit drugs to and through the United States.
Methamphetamine: Crystal Meth abuse continues to be a premier threat throughout the state. Since 2002, most of the significant Methamphetamine seizures in the state were the result of stash/distribution site raids or state/local interdiction stops.
Heroin: Georgia is largely deemed a transit and to a lesser degree, a distribution point for Heroin; however, Heroin availability remains stable throughout the Atlanta metropolitan area. Typically, South American, Southwest Asian and Mexican, have been the predominant types of Heroin in the Atlanta area.
Prescription Drugs: The diversion of hydrocodone and Oxycodone products (such as Vicodin) and OxyContin) continues to be a problem in Georgia. 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), and the Internet. Xanax and Lorcet were also identified as being among the most commonly abused and diverted pharmaceuticals in Georgia. A new trend also indicates methadone is replacing Oxycodone. This shift is due to physicians increasingly switching from Oxycodone to methadone in the treatment of pain and the lower cost of methadone compared to Oxycodone products. This is ample reason for Delaware drug rehab, and Delaware drug detox attention state wide immediately.
Addiction to drugs and alcohol in the United States has become a real epidemic. Instead of treating drug addicts like criminals we believe people suffering from pain pill addiction, alcoholism, and other drug addictions, such as Heroin, should have a comfortable drug detox to ensure long lasting sobriety and clean time. We believe that inpatient detox is the most effective way of dealing with drug or alcohol withdrawal.
