Title

United States Narcotic Farm, Fort Worth, TX

Description

The Narcotic Farms Act of 1929 authorized the establishment of two narcotic farms for the preventive custody and remedial care of individuals acquiring a sedative dependence for habit-forming narcotic drugs. The narcotic farms became known as the United States Public Health Service Hospitals with the first infirmary opening in 1935 at Lexington, Kentucky while the second infirmary opened in 1938 at Fort Worth, Texas. The narcotic farm concept was abandoned by 1975 due to advancement in medication treatment.
