Montpelier, North Dakota Drug Rehab

Drug Rehab North Dakota (cont..)

The most significant drug-related issue facing North Dakota is methamphetamine use and distribution. Methamphetamine is supplied to users from 2 sources; some is smuggled into the state and some is manufactured within the state. Mexican criminal groups have bases of operations on the West Coast and in Mexico and bring methamphetamine from those areas to North Dakota. They make use of motor vehicles, commercial interstate transportation services and parcel services to smuggle methamphetamine into North Dakota to be sold throughout the state. North Dakota’s surplus of open land makes it prime for criminals who want to manufacture methamphetamine in the state. Because North Dakota is a farming state, chemicals used in methamphetamine manufacture as well as agriculture are widely available. There has been a drastic drop in the number of methamphetamine lab seizures in the state in recent years; 232 seizures in 2004, 159 seizures in 2005 and 35 meth lab seizures in 2006. This decrease could possibly be attributed to newer laws that are common throughout the US. These laws are aimed at restricting the purchase of chemicals and drugs that are used in the methamphetamine manufacture process. 6.7 kilos of methamphetamine were confiscated in North Dakota in 2006.
