Advice on Enrolling Into a Drug Detox Facility

Though one of the original medical marijuana dispensaries in Berkeley closed its doors in 2012, there are still a number of storefronts that sell THC-laden baked goods and marijuana of all types. The problem is that many families are concerned that the medical marijuana purveyors make it easier for marijuana to be sold on the black market, which in turn increases rates of marijuana abuse and addiction – and the need for drug addiction treatment in Berkeley.

The same issue exists with prescription drugs and alcohol. Both are addictive yet both are still easily accessible to anyone who wants them. Add to the list the synthetic drugs that are available online and in head shops plus the drugs that are made in people’s homes (e.g., crystal meth), and it’s almost hard to believe that there isn’t a larger problem with drug abuse in California and across the country.
