Inpatient rehab programs throughout the country are seeing a surge in treatment admissions for the new designer drugs that come in the form of bath salts or look alike marijuana. Most of the products are being shipped in from China and distributed throughout the country and sold in convencience stores or head shops. The scary part is there is no regulation on the sale of these drugs, unless the attendant at the participating distributor feels an obligation these things are often purchased by 13 or 14 year old kids looking for a cheap thrill.

Hospitals and inpatient rehab programs are seeing a five fold increase in admissions since this same time last year. Young people are reporting psychotic symptoms like hallucinations, hearing voices and seeing aliens. Many of these designer, although labeled as not for human consumption, people are getting sick, hallucinating and dying from these dangerous chemicals.

Law enforcement officials with the Drug Enforcement Administration are doing their best to keep up by outlawing the products almost as fast as they hit the shelves. The bad part about this is, these chemicals are able to be reproduced just one molecule apart, making it almost impossible for officials to keep up.

 The drug problem in the US is higher than its ever been and with Texas Inpatient Rehab programs being hit heavy with the drugs coming over the boarder, and with these new drugs hitting the shelves coming from China, education is the key to keeping our kids safe. I speak to parents all the time who tell me that " on no not my kids" and those are the ones we read about in the paper.

People are praying on our youngsters and we need to be aware, please don't keep your head in the sand, take a look and be sure! Its never to late to educate. The information I give kids and adults alike are the dangerous toxic effects of all drugs and they should be treated as poisons.
