Drug Rehab South Dakota

The severity of addiction problems that plague South Dakota have residents up in arms and taking a closer look into effective drug rehab.

South Dakota's need for addiction treatment: The use of methamphetamine continues to affect the rural areas, as well as the urban areas, throughout the state of South Dakota. This increased use and demand for methamphetamine has continued to rise over the past year. Methamphetamine has come to the attention of the public through an increasingly aware media, informed public officials from the local to national level, and concerned citizens. Public efforts are underway by law enforcement, politicians, social service agencies and the media to further educate the public as to the dangers of methamphetamine use and abuse. In addition, marijuana is readily available in all areas of South Dakota. It continues as the most abused of the illegal controlled substances. Also, the controversial issue of "hemp" remains a high profile topic. Interstate 90, which runs east to west through South Dakota, is increasingly being used for the transportation of drugs and currency by trafficking organizations.

South Dakota's need for cocaine drug rehab: Cocaine is readily available throughout all parts of South Dakota, which is fueling the need for cocaine drug rehab in the state. While the availability of crack cocaine is increasing in eastern South Dakota, abuse is still limited in western sections of the state. Cocaine is obtained from Mexican sources in Sioux City, Iowa; Kansas City, Missouri, and California. Some distributors in Rapid City, South Dakota obtain cocaine from sources in the Denver area.

South Dakota's need for heroin addiction treatment: Heroin is typically available only in personal use quantities in South Dakota. The heroin that comes to the state is from other states and is not available to people who do not have transportation. Although this is the only way to get the drug, the need for heroin drug rehab is still needed in the state.

South Dakota's need for methamphetamine drug rehab: The availability of Mexican methamphetamine continues to increase throughout South Dakota, pushing the need for methamphetamine drug rehab. Methamphetamine in eastern South Dakota is obtained from sources in Sioux City, Iowa, and from sources in the western states of Texas, Arizona, and California. Methamphetamine is distributed locally by either long-time Caucasian residents or Hispanic males who have recently moved to South Dakota. Mexican methamphetamine in western South Dakota is primarily shipped directly from cities such as Denver, Phoenix, San Francisco, and San Diego using FedEx or UPS. Small toxic labs have steadily increased over the last few years. Local lab operators are obtaining chemicals at local hardware stores, truck stops, and department stores. Production capabilities of these small labs are usually less than one ounce. The stealing of anhydrous ammonia fertilizer from farm supply stores and farmers has also emerged as a serious problem in this agricultural state.

South Dakota's need for club drug addiction treatment: MDMA (Ecstasy) in eastern South Dakota is limited but appears to be increasing, as is the need for club drug rehab. MDMA is more readily available in western portions of South Dakota; however, the number of rave parties remains stable. Law enforcement in South Dakota reports limited availability of LSD.

South Dakota's need for marijuana drug rehab: Marijuana is readily available throughout South Dakota. The availability of the drug is increasing daily, which is pushing the need for marijuana drug rehab. Multi-hundred pound quantities are transported into the state from the southwest border of the United States. Smaller quantities are also shipped via express mail services or purchased from Hispanic males in the Sioux City area and driven back to Sioux Falls. Higher purity marijuana is produced in indoor grow operations in the Sioux Falls area, which typically contain less than 100 plants. Larger indoor operations have been found in the Rapid City area in western South Dakota, ranging from a few plants to several hundred. During the past few years, members of the Oglala Sioux Tribe have attempted to plant fields of "hemp" on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota. Intelligence reports indicate that high purity "BC Bud" marijuana may now be available in South Dakota.

South Dakota's need for prescription drug addiction treatment: OxyContin is a growing problem throughout South Dakota, and has been found at methamphetamine laboratory sites. An effective prescription drug rehab is needed to solve this growing problem. According to the South Dakota Department of Health, hydrocodone products, codeine, and Darvocet-N are the most popular abused pharmaceutical substances in the state. They are obtained by forged prescriptions and by phony call-ins.
