(Medical-NewsWire.com, August 16, 2012 ) WASHINGTON, DC -- One of the most popular designer drugs to be developed and available nationwide in the past several years is a group of drugs called bath salts.
While individual states have attempted to enact laws to prohibit the production, sale, and distribution of bath salts, their efforts haven’t been entirely successful. Unfortunately, due to the variations in laws from state-to-state, many individuals have turned to either traveling to a different state to purchase bath salts or have purchased them online. Earlier this month, however, President Obama signed a federal bill into law that bans the sale, production and distribution of bath salts nationwide, thereby closing the interstate loophole that some have used to acquire the substance.
“Abuse of bath salts has presented an enormous problem in the United States,” begins a spokesperson for Mountainside Drug Rehab and Alcohol Treatment Center. “The American Association of Poison Control Center’s statistics show calls related to bath salt abuse increased by 20 times in the last year alone. It’s our hope that the federal ban will drastically reduce these calls and help put an end to the abuse of bath salts.”
Prior to the ban, bath salts could be found at many corner convenience stores and gas stations. They typically contain one or more of the following meth-like drugs: methylenedioxypyrovalerone, (MDPV), methylone or mephedrone and can be snorted, smoked or injected.
Teen or young adults who experiment with bath salts should get the help needed with proper intervention. Mountainside Drug Rehab and Alcohol Treatment Center is experienced in dealing with bath salt addiction and can help people gently and effectively approach loved ones about their MPDV use and can help him or her stop their drug abuse and get their life back on track.
