Georgia Drug Rehab
Methamphetamine continued a five-year trend as Atlanta’s fastest growing drug problem. This trend is particularly true in the Atlanta, Dalton, and Gainesville metropolitan areas. Methamphetamine laboratories located within the state have declined since legislation was enacted in 2005 to restrict the sale of over-the-counter products containing pseudoephedrine:
Heroin availability remains stable throughout Atlanta metropolitan area. Seizures of street-level amounts of heroin attest to the pervasiveness and the availability of the drug. Typically, South American, followed by Southwest Asian and Mexican, has been the predominant type of heroin in the Atlanta area.
Bulk quantities of powder cocaine are transported into the state most often from the Southwest border. Often the powder cocaine is converted into crack by the local wholesaler or retailer. Primary source areas for cocaine are located in Texas.
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.
