I have heard so many people who have told me to move to a small town to get away from all the drug and gang issues the cities seem to have. When they tell me this I usually start laughing uncontrollably and can’t stop.

Why do people think small towns are better places to live? Yes the crime rate is usually not as bad as a city so I will give you that one, but where have you gotten the information that small towns are better because there is no drug use or gang involvement? Oh I know the media. Well guess what, small towns are just as bad as the cities are. The difference, small town teens and adults know how to hide what they do. When you live in a city no one pays attention to you, when you live in a small town everyone knows what your doing, they know who your with, where you went and most of the time exactly what you said. Scary huh?

This is one reason I know a little about rehab programs I have had at least 3 friends who have gone though Cocaine Rehab and a few more that probably should. I never got into drugs so I personally don’t have to worry about it, but I have seen the effects of people who do drugs and it’s not pretty. Cocaine Rehabs is a blog that I think could be very helpful to my friends and anyone who has ever had an addiction. One post talks about not being afraid of addiction treatment. I think this is the main reason people don’t get help. They are afraid to change. Another post talks about HIV and how drug use can spread that.

I will be giving this site out to a few friends who I think need to check it out. If I have to I’ll take them to the library myself. They waste too much money and time with there addictions and I really think they would be happier if they stopped doing what there doing.

  1. Well, people normally choose small towns because they’re more remote, so there’s a lower likelihood of violence. I don’t think anyone is naive enough to think that there will be none, but less is enough.
