The Mexican drug cartels are coming up with new means and methods for illegally trafficking drugs into the United States, and the port of entry at Laredo has been a prime target. A perfect example is the biggest drug bust uncovered at a Laredo port of entry in over two decades.
A seemingly normal shipment of baby wipes arrived in a trailer at the Colombia-Solidarity Bridge in Laredo, but thanks to the keen nose of a drug-sniffing canine, Border Patrol officers found the baby wipes were actually 1,935 packages of cocaine totaling 1,533 pounds. The confiscated cocaine had a street value of around $12 million.

How Expensive is Drug Rehab in Laredo?
Drug rehabs in Laredo vary in cost. Some facilities are expensive and may cost hundreds of dollars a week, while others can offer free services to residents who meet their eligibility requirements. Amenities can increase costs as well. For example, if you want a private room, special meals, and access to electronics and television, the total cost increases.
The more it costs your Laredo alcohol rehabs of choice to accommodate you, the more it will cost you. Fortunately, many types of Laredo addiction treatment centers can create a custom plan to meet your financial and recovery needs.
