An Overview on Santa Cruz Rehab Centers
Santa Cruz is a beautiful California beach city, but it has drug problems just like many other cities throughout the United States.
In August 2011, there was a drug bust at a local
tire shop that netted cocaine, meth and heroin. In March 2012, there was a huge drug bust that affected Santa Cruz's surrounding cities. Police found a
marijuana operation with 1,600 plants. These new stories show the severity of our nation's drug problem and why we need to fight addiction before it causes further problems in Santa Cruz and beyond.
