Drug Abuse Rehabs Daytona Beach, Florida
When we talk about Daytona Beach most people automatically think about racecar driving. As it should be because Daytona International Speedway has been hosting racing since 1959. Daytona is one of the few beaches in the world with hard packed sand allowing your car to drive on the beach in certain areas. This compacted sand has attracted automobile and motorcycle races since 1902. Daytona is located in Volusia County. The city was founded in 1870. It is headquarters for NASCAR the Grand American Road Racing Association and the United States Tennis Association along with the LPGA. Over 8 million tourist visit Daytona Beach each year. You can find golfing, museums, art galleries and shopping centers and enough hotels to take care of all these tourist. On the other hand, these tourists bring with them heavy partying and drug abuse in this area.
What drugs are there in Daytona Beach?
Cocaine is very much on the scene in Daytona Beach. In fact it is all over the state of Florida. The DEA just recently issued a report that states Jacksonville had 119 deaths from cocaine, 90 death in West Palm Beach and in Orlando it is reported that there are over 80 deaths all related to cocaine. In the US the 2006 national Survey on Drug Use and Health reports that 35.3 million Americans aged 12 and older reported having used cocaine. In fact cocaine continues to be the most frequently mentioned illegal drug reported to the Drug Abuse Warning Network by hospital emergency department. So it in is in Daytona Beach. Cocaine is known as the rich man’s drug and Daytona Beach has its share of upper class people who come to enjoy all the amenities.
Crack cocaine is available for those who can’t afford the cocaine. It is priced just right and enables the young people to have it readily in Daytona Beach. Mexican Organizations have made inroads in north and central Florida because of its location right off the Gulf of Mexico. So there is availability of crack throughout Florida.
Methamphetamine is getting into the Florida area and is impacting it. Most all of Florida’s 67 counties observe that meth is in full use. The labs are causing a threat to residents and this threat has been growing for the last five years. Methamphetamine is a synthetic chemical; it is not like cocaine which comes from a plant. Meth is commonly manufactured in illegal hidden labs. They do this by mixing different kinds of amphetamines with other chemicals to make it even stronger. You will find common pills for cold remedies in this meth. There are other chemicals such as battery acid, drain cleaner, lantern fuel and antifreeze that are often used in Meth. These chemicals can be explosive and often burn the cook and maybe the whole building. So law enforcements are always on the lookout for these labs in Daytona Beach.
Marijuana proves to be a very lucrative business in Daytona Beach. It was found just recently that indoor grown operations are becoming very popular. They produce a grade of marijuana that is very potent so it is profitable. You can find these operations in any part of Daytona Beach. Some marijuana is sold locally and the rest is distributed to other parts of the state.
What law Enforcement officials really have their attention on is the large increase in levels of abuse of the prescription drugs. The Florida Medical Examiner recently reported that five people die in Florida each day because of an overdose of prescription drugs. You may wonder how these residents of Daytona are getting all these prescription drugs. Some are doing what is called “doctor shopping” going to different doctors with an ailment so as to get a prescription. Now this person has maybe 5 prescriptions and so he sells some to his friends. Another way these drugs are making it into Daytona is the internet. Even though these are narcotics the internet drug store allows a bit of a leeway. These drugs can be expensive but the user somehow gets the money. Some of the health care professionals like doctor offices and pharmacies have employees that steal the drugs or even steal the prescription pad from the doctor. Investigations indicate that Vicodin and Oxycontin are two pain killers that are making it big in Daytona. Xanax and methadone are two other commonly used prescription drugs in Daytona.Daytona Beach with the 8 million tourist that party bring with them ecstasy MDMA. This is known as the Club drug because it heightens perceptions of color and sound and supposedly amplifies sensations when one touches or caresses another, particularly during sex. Ecstasy is used with other prescription and illegal drugs. It is most popular near colleges but when Daytona parties they really get down with ecstasy. Ecstasy smothers the natural alarm signals given out by the body so you can risk going beyond your physical limitations and endurance and really harm yourself.
Who is getting harmed by drug abuse in Daytona Beach?
The abuser of all these drugs is certainly hurting himself as he is probably not taking care of his nutrition and his sleep. So he tired and probably sick some of the time. Now the family is affected because they live in this roller coaster of he is doing fine then he is doing not so well, they can’t figure out why he can’t stop. He steals from them and lies to them. When the abuser goes to work he is a problem with getting there on time and staying through the day, not pay attention his production is not good. Some abusers go a few steps further and they burgularize businesses and maybe rob their neighbors. The Law enforcement officials have to spend much time and money to keep Daytona safe. The abuser may have failures in the past with drug rehab centers and he gets more numb to any hope of a future without drugs.
