To obtain an overview of the problem, we conducted physical surveillance of five clinics in the District of Columbia and interviewed clinic personnel and law enforcement officials. In brief, we found that a significant amount of illegal drug trafficking activity takes place around these clinics. Patients frequently must navigate their way through a virtual bazaar of illegal drug dealing when they enter and exit the facilities. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-04-946T/html/GAOREPORTS-GAO-04-946T.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-04-946T/pdf/GAOREPORTS-GAO-04-946T.pdf GAO-04-946T https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-GAO-04-946T Testimony GAO-04-946T; Drug Rehabilitation Clinics: Illegal Drug Activities Near Some District of Columbia Clinics Undermine Clinic Services and Patient Rehabilitation; Drug abuse Drug trafficking Drugs Law enforcement agencies Narcotics Rehabilitation programs Health care facilities
