Drug Rehab California

Drug Rehab California

In an attempt to quell drug addiction and abuse problems across the U.S., the federal government enacted the Combat Meth Act of 2005. You will now find cold and cough medicines and other previously over-the-counter drugs containing pseudoephedrine locked in cabinets or kept behind the pharmacy counter. Regardless of the law, meth use doesn't seem to be slowing down, and California drug rehab programs are needed more than ever to handle meth addiction.

With meth already identified by the DEA as California's primary drug threat, this new attempt at popularizing it by appealing to a younger crowd and making it more palatable is not being taken lightly: U.S. Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif) introduced legislation to increase penalties for drug dealers who are seeking to entice children with candy-flavored drugs.
