I am frustrated with the overwhelming drug abuse overtaking Dallas. With every drug known to man, cocaine, ecstasy, heroin, marijuana, prescription drugs and every other kind, flowing freely in almost all parts of the greater Dallas Metro region, how would any number of rehabilitation efforts handle it all.

There are a handful of rehab facilities trying to serve thousands of people in need. It's time to find some real solutions. We need inpatient rehab, outpatient rehab, detox centers, 12 step recovery facilities as well as meetings, clinics etc. This problem will not go away without getting the thousands of people addicted off the drugs successfully through the use of tried and true rehabilitative methods.

Any ideas?

There are definitely treatment centers that work and which produce high success rates but you have to dig a little. Many facilities I have encountered boast a high success rate and outcomes but when you dig a little deeper you discover that the way they qualify a successful outcome is not necessarily a person remaining drug and alcohol free. Instead, it is a person who finished their program and whom has improved their life somewhat. Not the thing to keep them alive and prosperous.
