Abstract:
The War on Drugs has long been deemed controversial. According to community members in Wake County, not enough resources are being given to programs for prevention and treatment which prove more effective than incarceration. This review of local efforts provides individual perspectives, testimonies of hope, and support in interviews with a former addict, the Alcoholism Treatment Center’s director of substance abuse services, a counselor for addicted inmates, a DARE officer, and participants at a Narcotics Anonymous meeting.

Abstract:
Georgia-based Charter Medical Corp. has four psychiatric hospitals in the state, making it North Carolina's largest private provider of drug-and alcohol-abuse treatment for the state's estimated 214,000 alcoholics and 19,500 drug addicts. The biggest problem faced by Charter and other providers like Amethyst in Charlotte and Laurinburg is that the people who need the services many times resist any suggestion that there is anything wrong with them.
