Posted by: Rehab Expert in drug rehabcrackcocaine on Print PDF

  In a recent report from the Drug Enforcement Administration of the United States, cocaine has been labeled the greatest drug threat to the United States. In their annual National Drug Threat Assessment, the DEA stated that "national law enforcement and drug use surveys show that the adverse impact to the nation's communities, families, and individuals caused by the distribution and abuse of powder and crack cocaine exceeds that caused by all other drugs.

Drug counselors nation wide have been inundated with requests for help from individuals who are severely addicted to cocaine for many years. Cocaine addiction has no geographical boundaries so these cries for help come from just about every city in the U.S." 

The DEA's Drug Threat Assessment also shows that state and local law enforcement agencies identify that 50% of violent crimes and 39% of property crimes, are perpetrated by people addicted to cocaine. The National Drug Threat Assessment ranked cocaine as a higher threat than any other drug in nearly every drug threat category.
