Children in Nebraska are not sheltered from the cocaine problem the state of Nebraska has. 2,000 children (ages 12 - 17) have abused coaine in the last year.

Why are so many children abusing this potentially lethal drug? This is probably because cocaine is rumored to be a party drug. This means that children hear about a drug that allows them to have more fun, stay up longer, and be "cooler". While this is not the case, it is often what gets relayed to children. What children need to know is that cocaine is very harmful to the body as well as the family and the life of a person. Deaths from cocaine are quite common, this is because cocaine is a stimulant. That means that in order for cocaine to have the desired effect on a person it has to increase their heart rate significantly. Heart attacks are very common in cocaine addicts. The only real way to handle a cocaine addiction is to enroll the addict in a drug and alcohol rehab. Our counselors are standing by to help you and your family.

Officials in Nebraska do not place a lot of concern on cocaine abuse, mostly because they are concentrating on the methamphetamine addictions that are rampant throughout the state. This is unfortunate because a significant part of the state is addicted to cocaine, and will eventually move on to methamphetamine because it is so easily accessible.

Cocaine is brought into the state of Nebraska via sources in the southwest. Omaha is considered the city with the biggest cocaine problem. Most times any cocaine that is brought into the city of Maha is turned into crack cocaine and then sold to consumers.
