California Drug Abuse: Drug Abuse in Colorado
Mexican trafficking organizations are the ones that are responsible for the heavy influx of most varieties of drugs in the state of Colorado. While the distribution of marijuana, methamphetamine, heroin, and cocaine is under their control, club drugs are mostly distributed by independent traffickers who depend of suppliers both within and outside the United States. As such, street gangs that are a part of criminal organizations operating in Texas, Mexico, and California provide the drugs to users. Easy availability of drugs in Colorado is a contributing factor in the increase in the number of drug users and the number of meth users has more than doubled from 2000 to 2005.
Drug Abuse Fresno: The Counselor – Their Addiction Recovery
A very large percentage of the Alcoholism and Drug Abuse Counselors in our country are also Recovering Addicts. This especially pertains to those certified by agencies created specifically to improve the qualifications of those working in a previously hugely unregulated field.

I can only speak for myself, but approaching 10 years as a counselor, I believe myself to to represent the profile of very many counselors.
