Greensboro, North Carolina Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities
Greensboro, NC--named for revolutionary war hero Major General Nathaniel Greene, who led the rebels in the Battle of the Guilford Courthouse—is today known for being an integral part of the Piedmont Triad, (consisting otherwise of Winston-Salem, and High Point, NC.) Long known as one of the primary manufacturing and transportation hubs of the southeastern United States, the Piedmont Triad is also an important educational and cultural region that holds a prominent place in the history of the American Civil Rights Movement. But sadly, this hub of history and progressive thought is rapidly becoming known as something else-a corridor for the virtual non-stop trafficking of illegal drugs.
With roughly 8 million residents, North Carolina is the eleventh most populous state, and its population continues to grow faster than the rate of the country as a whole. Primarily this is due to a booming manufacturing and tourism sector, with most of the growth centering around Raleigh, Charlotte, and especially the Piedmont Triad region. And with this big boom in population comes (inevitably) a big boom in the drug trade. When it comes to Greensboro, the professional drug cartels exploiting the region definitely don't disappoint. Using the states convenient highway system to move product, the cartels (mostly from Mexico) move their illegal wares into Greensboro for distribution on a local level as well as through Greensboro enroute to other markets. Drugs are concealed in false compartments in private vehicles or among legitimate goods, (such as produce and handmade wooden furniture) in commercial trucking trailers. Mexican criminal groups take full advantage of the large volume of products shipped across the state and also endeavor to transport drugs by air and by bus, though in lesser quantities.
Once safely in the Piedmont Triad region, the drugs trafficked by the gangs then get distributed, (mostly at a retail level) among members of African American, Caucasian, and Hispanic gangs, many affiliated with nationally recognized street organizations including Bloods, Crips, Latin Kings, and MS-13. Law enforcement officials report that where the gangs operate, violent crime spikes. For the sake of beautiful Greensboro and the entire Piedmont Triad at large, we can only hope that authorities can get a handle on the situation.
The population of Greensboro, NC. is 274,636. If you or a loved one are inflicted with drug addiction or alcoholism, there are 63 drug and alcohol rehabs locally and in the surrounding areas just waiting for you to call and to say that you need help.
