Choosing the correct drug rehab in Hampton,Georgia is often a very confusing and extremely important endeavor. It is important to be well informed in order to choose the correct drug rehab facility in Hampton for yourself or a loved one.
Each drug rehab in Hampton, Georgia has a different approach to the recovery process. Take note of what is important to you, and make decisions based on your personal needs. Keep in mind that in Hampton there are a multitude of treatment options to choose from: outpatient treatment, in patient treatment, support groups, drug rehabilitation, alcohol rehab, drug treatment programs, sober living, halfway houses, long term treatment, short term treatment, counseling, and many more. An individual can become thoroughly confused by asking a half-dozen recovering alcoholics or drug addicts in Hampton how they conquered their abuse of alcohol or drugs; the answers vary although each of them are convincing and emotional. They will cite such diverse approaches as hospitalization, diet, exercise, counseling, sauna's, religion, hypnosis, amino acids and self-help groups. When it comes to successful treatment, only one thing is certain: practically any approach will work for some of the people, some of the time. To put it another way, successful drug rehabilitation is like a designer suit- it's got to be tailor-made for each individual. A great deal of variation exists in the degree of dependence among drug users. The teenager who smokes marijuana three times a week is not as dependent as the thirty year old who has smoked marijuana six times a day for 15 years and has already relapsed after being in two drug rehabilitation centers. It's obvious that these individuals need different approaches to treatment. Similarly, among cocaine users are some who use it in binge fashion, one or two days a month, and others who use it several times each day. Again, different treatment approaches are required for each case.
For those who do not have a long history of drug addiction, an outpatient treatment program might be the correct decision. This form of treatment may be a viable solution for those who have a brief drug addiction history. These individuals might only need the guidance and counseling available though this method of treatment. On the other hand, those who have experienced an extended period of drug addiction, choosing the correct drug rehab program typically means that they should enter into an in patient drug rehab program not located in Hampton. The structure, 24-hour support and change of enviornment made available through this type of drug rehab recovery program can be highly effective for those recovering from a long term drug addiction problem. Most drug rehab professionals in do not recommend any one "best" treatment approach, recognizing the many variations among drug and alcohol abusers. In general, the levels of treatment range from simple and behavioral to complex and medical. The person dependent upon drugs or alcohol may have used the chosen substance for so long that he or she has literally forgotten how to cope with the daily challenges of life; how to have a meaningful, drug-free lifestyle; or how to solve the social or psychological problems that prompted the substance abuse in the first place. In these instances, a very comprehensive approach must be prescribed if the individual is to expect any degree of successful recovery. Once stability is achieved, the "clean" or sober individual can take several steps to enhance recovery and avoid relapse. Among the general recommendations are belonging to a group as a support system, having a religious involvement, practicing good health habits; including proper diet, sleep, and exercise, as well as goal planning and self enhancement projects.

Drug Situation: The state of Georgia is both a final destination point for
drug shipments and a smuggling corridor for drugs transported along the East
Coast. Extensive interstate highway, rail, and bus transportation networks,
as well as international, regional, and private air and marine ports of entry
serve the state. Moreover, 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 and major drug importation hubs. In addition, Interstate
Highway 20 runs directly into Georgia from drug entry points along the Southwest
Border and Gulf Coast. The city of Atlanta has become an important strategic
point for drug trafficking organizations as it is the largest city in the
South and has a nexus for all East/West and North/South travel. The entire
state, Atlanta in particular, has experienced phenomenal growth over the
last several years with a corresponding increase in drug crime and violence.
With Georgia bordering North Carolina, South Carolina, and Tennessee, Alabama
and Florida, Atlanta is the base for several major dealers who maintain trafficking
cells in these states; especially Mexican-based traffickers who hide within
legitimate Hispanic enclaves.
There are 8.1 million legal residents in the State of Georgia, of which Hispanics account for over 5 percents of the population. The Hispanic population growth has been aided by an influx of undocumented immigrants, mostly from Mexico. Intelligence currently indicates that as the Mexican immigrant community has grown so too has the presence of Mexican traffickers. This is especially evident in the Atlanta, Georgia metro area. Other cities in Georgia experiencing tremendous growth in the Hispanic community include Dalton, Gainesville, Macon, Columbus, Savannah and Augusta. Cocaine seizures have increased dramatically as a result of the Mexican organizations moving into Atlanta as have methamphetamine and marijuana seizures for the same period. Most significantly, in recent years (2001-2003), the Atlanta Field Division has seen a change in the drug trafficking patterns in and around the Atlanta Metropolitan area. Whereas historically cocaine, marijuana and methamphetamine have traversed the country from the SWB through Houston, McAllen, Corpus Christi and many other Texan cities traveling ENE (I-10) through Louisiana to Atlanta, recent statistics show that traffickers are using this route less frequently in favor of traveling north using state highways, the I-40 for example. This phenomenon is attributed to increased monitoring and pipeline seizures on the interstate highways.
Poly-Drug: Poly-drug Mexican DTOs are the preeminent threat faced by Atlanta Field Division Office. Mexican traffickers now supply kilogram quantities of cocaine HCl directly to local crack cocaine dealers. Half of all poly-drug investigations within Atlanta Field Division Office target Mexican poly-drug trafficking organizations. Mexican traffickers and Mexican DTOs will play an increasingly dominant role in the importation and distribution of illegal drugs within Atlanta Field Division Office. Recent intelligence indicates a poly-drug organization operating San Antonio, TX capable of transporting multiple kilograms of cocaine and marijuana from Mexico to various U.S. cities including Atlanta; a San Antonio DO investigation targets a large scale trafficking organization responsible for importing cocaine, marijuana, black tar, and methamphetamine into the U.S. cities, including Atlanta, GA; the Birmingham AL, RO reports a business front operating in August, GA that is importing cocaine and heroin into the U.S. and Atlanta which has ties to the Colombian narco-terrorists linked to the FARC.
Cocaine: Cocaine and crack cocaine continue to be among the most widely available drugs throughout Georgia. Bulk quantities of powder cocaine are usually transported into the state and then converted into crack by the local wholesaler or retailer. Primary source areas for cocaine are Texas and California. While traffickers utilize several transportation modes, prominent methods of smuggling are the use of private or rental vehicles, and of recent tractor-trailers, with increasingly sophisticated hidden compartments, travel routes, and counter-surveillance techniques. Colombian cocaine traffickers use the Ports of Wilmington, Charleston, and Savannah as cocaine importation points, and these areas remain major transshipment centers for cocaine destined for Atlanta, other East Coast drug markets, and Europe. During the past year, several organizations (Mexican and Dominican) have been identified which are responsible for bringing loads of 200 to 300 kilograms of cocaine to Atlanta for local consumption as well as transshipment to other parts of the region and East Coast cities.
Heroin: Heroin availability remains stable throughout Atlanta Field Division Office. Seizures of street level amounts of heroin attest to the pervasiveness and the availability of the drug. Although heroin trafficking at times appear relatively low and stable throughout most of Georgia, there are regions where heroin abuse appears to be climbing. The sources of supply reportedly are located in Chicago, New York, and the Southwest Boarder. The most recent DMP report indicates that the predominant type of heroin in the Atlanta, GA area is South American. The purity of the South American heroin ranged from 51.8 percent to 65.4 percent. One exhibit was Southwest Asian heroin with a purity level of 40.5 percent. The Atlanta HIDTA reports more Hispanic involvement in heroin trafficking. Local law enforcement agencies in some outlying metro Atlanta counties indicate that heroin is becoming an increasing problem for their jurisdictions.
Methamphetamine: Methamphetamine continues to increase in popularity and has become more prevalent throughout Georgia, leading to a significant number of arrests and seizures throughout the state. This trend is particularly true in the Atlanta, Dalton, and Gainesville metropolitan areas. Especially alarming are indications that the number of clandestine methamphetamine laboratories in Georgia has increased drastically. There has also been an increase in the availability of ICE, in the Atlanta metropolitan area along with locally produced methamphetamine. Methamphetamine is produced in clandestine laboratories located within the state.
Club Drugs: Atlanta is transit city for Ecstasy to other U.S. cities. MDMA, GHB and Ketamine (Special K) continue to be popular and remain readily available in and around populations of young people (gyms, college campuses and associated “hang outs”) throughout the state. LSD is usually encountered at school settings and is imported to Georgia from the West Coast via U.S. Postal Service packages or commercial express mail. The wholesale cost of ecstasy, depending on location and amount purchased, varies between $3.00 and $15.00 per pill and the retail price varies between $8.00 (Atlanta) and $40.00 (Savannah). Ecstasy is popular in the hip-hop scene and is readily available in Atlanta’s nightclubs, “Rave” parties and concerts which target the younger population. An emerging trend among young adults is “candy flipping,” or combining MDMA and LSD, according to a local university report.
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 that is imported and distributed in Georgia. The primary wholesale suppliers of marijuana are Mexican nationals. Local outdoor cannabis cultivation sites are increasing due to the normally ideal growing condition in the region. Because of DEA's eradication program, and the recent drought, some dealers have resorted to hydroponic cultivation of marijuana.
Other Drugs: Diverted pharmaceutical controlled substances are widely available with Xanax (alprazolam), Valium (diazepam), Dilaudid (hydromorphone), Demerol(meperidine), and Percodan (oxycodone) being the most sought after.
DEA Mobile Enforcement Teams: This cooperative program with state and local law enforcement counterparts was conceived in 1995 in response to the overwhelming problem of drug-related violent crime in towns and cities across the nation. There have been 409 deployments completed resulting in 16,763 arrests of violent drug criminals as of February 2004. There have been 11 MET deployments in the State of Georgia since the inception of the program: Columbus, Bowden, Atlanta, Marietta, Macon, Glynn County, Dalton, Griffin, College Park, Savannah, and Gainesville.
DEA Regional Enforcement Teams: This program was designed to augment existing DEA division resources by targeting drug organizations operating in the United States where there is a lack of sufficient local drug law enforcement. This Program was conceived in 1999 in response to the threat posed by drug trafficking organizations that have established networks of cells to conduct drug trafficking operations in smaller, non-traditional trafficking locations in the United States. Nationwide, there have been 22 deployments completed resulting in 608 arrests of drug trafficking criminals as of February 2004. There has been one RET deployment in the State of Georgia since the inception of the program, in Dalton.
Other Enforcement Operations: The Atlanta High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area (HIDTA) was established by the Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP) in 1995, with the Georgia Bureau of Investigation (GBI) as the administrating agency. The Atlanta HIDTA’s mission is two fold; it targets both drugs and violence within DeKalb County, Fulton County, and the city of Atlanta. There are 13 agencies participating in the Atlanta HIDTA, seven of which are federal agencies. There are three DEA Special Agents, one supervisory agent, two DEA analysts, and one supervisory analyst position allocated to the initiative.
