The drug situation in Mississippi is as grim as any other state, showing a clear-cut need for drug rehabilitation programs that can help. Cocaine, primarily crack, is the primary drug threat in Mississippi due to the availability of the drug and its high addiction rate. Cocaine abuse is reported in Mississippi's metropolitan cities as well as its rural areas. The abuse and distribution of cocaine is associated with more incidents of violent crime than any other drug within the state. Heroin is considered a minimal drug threat in Mississippi due to the low demand and high cost of the drug. Marijuana continues to be the most commonly used drug in Mississippi. Methamphetamine is the second most serious drug threat in Mississippi due to its increasing availability, low cost, rapid growth of abuse and its threat to human life and the environment. Club drugs are available usually in small quantities throughout Mississippi, especially around university towns. Furthermore, MDMA (ecstasy) has become the most prevalent and popular of the club drugs in Mississippi. Prescription narcotic painkillers such as OxyContin continue to present a problem in Mississippi. Approximately 157,000 people in Mississippi (ages 12 or older) reported past month use of an illicit drug. Contact us now for drug rehab help for yourself or someone you love from Mississippi.
