Wellington, Florida: Drug abuse trends

Palm Beach County, including Wellington, faces significant drug abuse challenges. Data from the Florida Department of Health shows it as the top county in Florida for drug abuse. Commonly misused drugs here include cocaine, heroin, MDMA, fentanyl, marijuana, hydrocodone, Xanax, oxycodone, and methadone.

The County's Sheriff's Office states that cocaine is the main drug concern in South Florida. However, purity is a big issue. According to the DEA, the seized cocaine is only about 61.5% pure. Often, it's mixed with other substances like fentanyl, creatine, heroin, or LSD. This increases the risk of overdoses. In fact, a mix of cocaine and fentanyl has been linked to the majority of drug overdose deaths in the region.

Health Street offers multiple drug testing locations in Wellington, Florida, where employers or individuals can order tests.
