(USGovernment-News.Com, March 18, 2016 ) West Palm Beach, FL -- Business Insider reports that U.S. Customs and Border Protection Field Operations officers discovered 154 pounds of cocaine in February on a ship bound from Guayaquil, Ecuador. The confiscated drugs are valued at about $2 million dollars in street value, and serves as a testament to Ecuador's growing drug trafficking problem. It also reflects the economic struggles affecting the small South American country, as most youth are unable to find work. While Columbia remains a leading producer of the illicit drug, drug cartel activity in Ecuador is proving to be a valuable portation point for drug traffickers and criminal organizations. In the first two months of 2016, authorities have seized five times as much trafficked drugs as in the same timeframe of 2015.
As a facility dealing with the consequences of successful drug trafficking directly, West Palm Beach Drug Rehab is appreciative of all efforts to keep illicit substances from entering the country. A leading provider of addiction treatment in West Palm Beach, the rehabilitation center can attest to the rapidly spreading substance abuse epidemic affecting Florida and all of the United States. Ending this plague requires a two-fold approach: removing access to illicit substances and providing comprehensive, affordable treatment to those living with substance abuse disorders.
A representative of West Palm Beach Drug Rehab comments,
"The substance abuse epidemic has encompassed all of America to the point that no one is left unaffected by this disease. One way or another, abuse of drugs or alcohol is tearing at the seams of this country and we have to do something about it. While we can offer recovery services and support beyond rehab, keeping these toxins off the streets and away from our children, spouses, friends, and loved ones goes a long way in eradicating this problem once and for all. By combining the efforts of law enforcement personnel, healthcare providers, and educators, we can one day see a country where rampant drug abuse a thing of the past."
