World Briefing | The Americas: Brazil: State to Make Addicts Get Help

Written By Unknown on Sabtu, 05 Januari 2013 | 13.57

The authorities in São Paulo, Brazil's most populous state, said they would start detaining addicts of crack cocaine and sending them against their will to treatment centers. The new measure, which was announced Thursday and is set to be put into effect this month, is aimed at combating a crack epidemic visibly on display in blighted parts of the city of São Paulo, the state capital, where roving groups of addicts consume the drug in broad daylight. Officials across Brazil are searching for solutions to the problem, with Brazil ranking among the world's largest cocaine markets. Security forces in Rio de Janeiro have been forcing crack addicts into treatment centers since 2011. On a federal level, President Dilma Rousseff's government is moving forward with a $2 billion anti-crack initiative, including awareness campaigns and enhanced efforts to combat the trafficking of cocaine into Brazil from neighboring countries.
