Number of Children Victims of at Home Meth Labs Skyrockets
Miami, Florida (PRWEB) July 29, 2013 -- According to an article on 7/26 by The Daily Mail (UK) titled, The innocent 'meth heads': How more and more children are becoming victims of deadly drug as number of 'shake and bake' at-home labs skyrocket, a steadily increasing number of children have been dying as their parents operate poisonous at-home Methamphetamine (meth) labs. A shocking statistic reveals that in some U.S. states, 90% of home lab arrests, abused and sick children were removed from their meth-addicted parents.
As sad as it is when someone is suffering from a dependency on drugs, it is many times worse when an innocent child becomes a victim of their parent's addiction. This is why it is critical that the addict receive the professional care found at a premier detox facility like South Florida's Harbor Village.
A 24/7 medically supervised detox center, Harbor Village allows each client to receive private drug rehab in a luxury, state-of-the art environment. Located in South Florida, clients are welcomed with upscale accommodations including a suite with satellite television, 30,000 square feet of outdoor lounge area, spa, salon, massage and acupuncture services, nutritious, gourmet dining and a results proven plan for recovery.
As posted in the article, The innocent http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2376753/The-innocent-meth-heads-Children-victims-deadly-drug-number-home-labs-skyrocket.html , a report earlier this year by the Government Accountability Office (GAO) stated the number of at-home meth incidents more than doubled in 2010 to 15,000.
Chemicals like drain cleaner and household items such as lithium batteries and cold packs are used to produce meth. The secret at-home labs that are appearing virtually everywhere mix a host of substances with psuedoephedrine to form deadly substances.
Carol Cha, the GAO’s acting director of Homeland Security and Justice, told the New York Daily News, “Children are dragged into this unwillingly. Law enforcement sees the lab problem as having the greatest impact on children.” The GAO reports that more than 21,000 children have felt the effects of meth since 2002.
“Drug abuse can create many health issues and cause you to lose everything. We ask that anyone who suffers from this dependency to contact a detox center such as Harbor Village to start the recovery process,” said Robert Niznik, Harbor Village CEO.
