New York Drug Treatment Centers

Crack addiction in New York State and New York City has been a major problem since the 80s, with an increase in cocaine trafficking and importation to the city. Because of this, crack cocaine was created to serve lower income audiences. As a result, crack entered communities where powered cocaine was too costly to distribute, creating the same fervor for the drug, but at the price of reducing already impoverished people to new lows of crimes like stealing, prostitution, and sometimes homicide and murder. Crack dealers are often praised in our American media by hip hop stars and rappers as the only way for African-Americans to achieve greatness, yet the reality of crack is that it has taken that demographic and launched it into a downward spiral. Serious social reform must take place to curb and eventually stop the distribution of crack, caught in 'the game' with no honorable way out.
