Crack cocaine distribution presents a serious threat to North Carolina, especially around inner city communities. Heroin use and availability is considered low in North Carolina, with the exception of metropolitan areas. Marijuana is one of the most commonly abused illicit drugs in North Carolina. Methamphetamine continues to increase as a threat in North Carolina. Reports from western North Carolina indicate that methamphetamine has replaced crack cocaine in some counties as the main drug threat because it is more available and is less expensive. MDMA (ecstasy) has increased in popularity across the state and is especially popular with younger people in the nightclub and bar scene. Other club drugs of abuse that are found in North Carolina include GHB, LSD, PCP, Ketamine and Psilocybin. The abuse of prescription drugs such as opiate narcotics is prevalent throughout North Carolina. The diversion of prescription painkillers continues to be a problem in the state and their widespread abuse is due to the relative availability, as well as the misconception that taking a prescription is safer than a street drug. Approximately 511,000 people in North Carolina (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 North Carolina.
