In Avery County, North Carolina and the surrounding areas, Methamphetamine is a huge issue. It affects anyone and everyone, from those who cook it, use it, deal it, and everyone in between. There is only one drug detective in Avery County certified to deal with meth, and with a huge lack of resources, fighting the problem becomes more difficult every day. Users are in and out of jail and seem to have no help in sight. On a daily basis law enforcement is called to deal with the problem. Meth and its influence continues to spread and it is an increasingly emotional issue for everyone involved. Special thanks to Sheriff Kevin Frye and Detective Casey Lee
