California Drug Rehab Programs

There are a several California drug rehabilitation programs which provide drug rehabilitation services for adults and adolescents. One would think it can’t possibly be that difficult to find the best drug rehab program, but you may be surprised. There seem to be as many drug rehab philosophies as there are drug rehabs and alcohol rehabs. For example, some California drug rehabs may not have their own drug detox program and have to refer out for this addiction treatment service. It is critical to discuss this aspect of a drug rehab program with intake staff, as it can make a substantial difference in the effectiveness of a person’s addiction treatment. Secondly, California drug rehabs and alcohol rehabs might specialize in treating specific populations such as dual diagnosis treatment or a California drug rehab program focused on providing treatment for the gay and lesbian community.

It can be a challenging experience to try and decide which California drug rehabilitation or alcohol rehabilitation program is best for you. Recovery Connection's® staff is experienced in matching your drug rehab needs with a drug rehab program capable of meeting them. Not every California drug rehab program is right for you. With our vast knowledge of the addiction treatment services, you will feel more comfortable with your choice. Call us toll free at 1-800-993-3869 and allow us locate a drug rehabilitation program that will make a difference in your life.

California Alcohol Rehab Programs

Alcoholism, alcohol dependency and alcohol addiction all fall into the same category. Alcohol is physically addicting and can have devastating effects on a person’s family, employment, health, finances and emotional well being. Due to the physical addiction associated with alcoholism, we urge you to enter an alcohol detox program before discontinuing your use of alcohol to minimize any alcohol withdrawal symptoms. At a minimum, please consult with a physician working in an alcohol detox for guidance in this matter.

California alcohol rehab programs differ in the actual alcohol rehab services they provide and the patients the alcohol rehab program treats. There are federally funded alcohol rehab programs in California for those people that are financially challenged, alcohol rehabilitation programs in California for adults and adolescents and California alcohol rehabs for those persons with private insurance and an ability to pay for a private alcohol rehabilitation program.

For someone not involved in the alcoholism treatment arena, knowing how to differentiate between California alcohol rehabs can be quite difficult. It is important to find out whether the alcohol rehabilitation program you are looking at has its own alcohol detox program, whether the California alcohol rehabilitation program has a comprehensive family program and which specific addiction treatment needs the alcohol rehab program can meet. An example would be whether the alcohol rehab has a comprehensive dual diagnosis treatment component, provides eating disorder treatment or whether the California alcohol rehab is gay friendly for the LGBT population.

Recovery Connection® has a referral staff that has been trained to evaluate your alcohol rehabilitation needs and match them with the alcoholism treatment services provided at the California alcohol rehab program. To locate safe and effective alcohol rehab services in California or in any other state, call 1-800-993-3869.

California Drug Rehabs for the Gay Community

While a person who is gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgender (GLBT) can receive addiction treatment or alcohol rehabilitation treatment in any California alcohol rehab program or California drug rehab program, not all drug rehabs or alcohol rehabs in California are designed to meet the needs of the LGBT community. More to the point, there are not many California drug rehabs or alcohol rehabs in California that have addiction treatment staff trained in how to deal with issues such as coming out, internalized homophobia or homophobia.

An effective gay drug rehab in California, gay alcohol rehab in California or gay friendly drug rehabilitation in California should have as a minimum; addiction treatment groups specific to the LGBT population, an addiction treatment staff trained in the issues surrounding the gay population and addiction treatment staff that has dealt with their own homophobic issues. It is important that any California drug rehab or California alcohol treatment program that claims to treat the LGBT community provide them with a safe setting in which to recover.

To locate a gay friendly drug rehab or gay friendly alcohol rehabilitation program you can call 1-800-993-3869 and our referral coordinators can locate an addiction treatment program to meet your specific addiction treatment needs.

California Drug Abuse and California Alcohol Abuse

Due to California’s diverse culture and unique geography, there are many issues that affect the drug situation in California. Drugs such as cocaine, heroin, methamphetamine, and marijuana are smuggled into the state from Mexico; however, methamphetamine and marijuana are produced or cultivated in large quantities within the state. San Diego California and Los Angeles remain a principal transshipment zone for a variety of drugs – cocaine, heroin, marijuana and methamphetamine – smuggled from Mexico. Most drug traffickers/organizations that are encountered by law enforcement continue to be polydrug traffickers rather than specializing in one type of drug. Since September 11, 2001, greater emphasis has been placed on carefully screening people and vehicles at all California Ports of Entry into the U.S. from Mexico. This has forced traffickers to attempt other means to smuggle their contraband into the U.S., including the use of tunnels that run underneath the border and more sophisticated hidden compartments in vehicles. Los Angeles is a distribution center for all types of illicit drugs destined for other major metropolitan areas throughout the U.S. as well as locally. Increased security measures at Los Angeles and San Francisco International Airport continue to deter drug traffickers from traveling through the airport. Although the northern half of California is awash in methamphetamine in more rural areas, heroin remains the number one drug of abuse in San Francisco, heroin and crack cocaine continue to impact Oakland California, and methamphetamine continues in and around Sacramento, California.

Cocaine Addiction and Cocaine Addiction Treatment:

Mexican trafficking organizations, working closely with Colombian suppliers, dominate the wholesale cocaine trade. However, the Mexican traffickers continue to specialize in cross-border cocaine transportation by air, land and sea. Based on consistent seizures by U.S. Customs personnel (BICE), the majority of the cocaine destined for the U.S. continues to enter the country by land conveyance through the Ports of Entry along the California/Mexico border. Typically, traffickers transport the cocaine to Los Angeles in vehicles with hidden compartments and then offload the cocaine into stash houses. Cocaine is readily available throughout the state with Los Angeles remaining one of the nation’s largest cocaine transshipment and distribution centers. Cocaine is also widely available in San Francisco and other areas of northern California. Get cocaine addiction treatment NOW!

Heroin Addiction and Heroin Addiction Treatment:

California-based law enforcement agencies primarily seize Mexico black tar heroin throughout the state and Mexican brown tar heroin to a lesser extent. Mexican black tar heroin is usually smuggled into the U.S. in amounts of five pounds or less, but occasionally law enforcement seizes larger amounts. In addition, Southeast Asian, Southwest Asian, and Colombian heroin seizures periodically occur throughout the state. The increased availability of high purity heroin that can be snorted allows a new, younger population to use heroin without a syringe and needle. Drug treatment specialists stated that these new heroin users ingest large amounts of heroin and become quickly addicted. Law enforcement officials normally encounter ethnic West African and Southeast Asian nationals in the distribution and transportation of Asian heroin. California does not have any noticeable heroin abuse in its Asian communities. Reports that high purity Colombian heroin is now available in the counties surrounding Los Angeles is supported by the recent seizure of 200 grams of Colombian heroin by law enforcement in Ventura County.

Methamphetamine Addiction and Crystal Meth Addiction Treatment:

Methamphetamine is the primary drug threat in California. Mexican organizations continue to dominate the production and distribution of high-quality meth, while a secondary trafficking group, composed primarily of Caucasians, operates small, unsophisticated laboratories. Clandestine laboratories can be found in any location: high density residential neighborhoods sparsely populated rural areas, remote desert locations in the southern portions of California, and the forested areas in northern California. In recent years, there has been a decrease in the number of meth labs seized in California and an increase in the number of meth labs just south of the border in Mexico. Rural areas in the Central Valley are the source of much of the meth produced in California and seized elsewhere. Regardless, there has not been a decrease in the availability of methamphetamine originating from (or transshipped through) California and seized elsewhere in the U.S. Within California itself, Hispanics and Caucasians are the almost exclusive consumers of meth. Purity levels of meth have ranged from a low of ten percent to a high of 100 percent purity. As the supply of pseudoephedrine from Canada has diminished after successful law enforcement operations, there has been a noticeable increase in pseudoephedrine and ephedrine seized that originated from China. Get methamphetamine addiction treatment NOW!

Ecstasy Addiction and Ecstasy Addiction Treatment:

Although MDMA or Ecstasy was considered the most popular “club drug” in the state among teens and young adults, there are indicators that its use may be decreasing across the board, yet consistently available in geographical pockets. First, the Partnership for a Drug Free America conducted a study released in 2004 which stated the use of Ecstasy among teenagers “had dropped 25 percent in the last two years, (that) decrease translates into an additional 770,000 teens rejecting the once trendy drug.” Although law enforcement targeted rave promoters in the San Diego county area a number of years ago, which resulted in their inability to hold such events and thereby decreased the possibility for distribution of Ecstasy through that channel, Ecstasy is widely available for sale in large quantities in San Diego once again. MDMA is often obtained through suppliers based in Los Angeles, or on the Internet. Recent studies indicate that use of MDMA is expanding from raves and clubs into schools, malls and residences. Although Israeli and Russian organized crime still dominate the importation and distribution of MDMA, primarily from the Netherlands, new poly-drug trafficking organizations are also emerging. Specifically, Asian groups that are producing MDMA in Canada and Vietnam and smuggling the drug into California have recently been encountered by law enforcement. MDMA is widely available in Los Angeles, which is one of three major gateway cities for the influx of MDMA into the U.S. (Miami and New York are the other two cities). Compton (near Los Angeles) remains a primary source of PCP throughout the U.S. Street gangs continue to control both production and distribution of PCP. Though not as widely popular as most rave drugs, LSD remains readily available throughout the Los Angeles area. The ample supply of LSD is due to the number LSD laboratories operating in remote areas of Northern California, which has been the center of LSD production since the 1960’s. Internet sales of GHB and GBL persist. Get ecstasy addiction treatment NOW!

Marijuana Addiction and Marijuana Addiction Treatment:

Marijuana remains the most widely available and abused illicit substance in California. Large quantities of low-grade marijuana are smuggled into the state from Mexico. Highly potent Canadian marijuana, commonly referred to as “BC bud” is also smuggled into the state. Potent domestic marijuana is also cultivated in sophisticated indoor, hydroponic gardens throughout the state. Marijuana is not a physically addicting drug and the person does not usually require an inpatient drug detox program. Get marijuana addiction treatment NOW!

Prescription Drug Addiction and Prescription Drug Addiction Treatment:

Current investigations indicate that diversion of hydrocodone products such as Vicodin®, and oxycodone products such as OxyContin®, continues to be a problem in California. Primary methods of diversion being reported are illegal sale and distribution by health care professionals and workers, “doctor shopping” (going to a number of doctors to obtain prescriptions for a controlled pharmaceutical), forged prescriptions, employee theft, pharmacy and in-transit theft, and the Internet. Fentanyl (such as Actiq®), benzodiazepines (such as Valium®, diazepam and clonazepam), and codeine were also identified as being among the most commonly abused and diverted pharmaceuticals in California. Please do not abruptly discontinue the use of prescription medication without speaking with a physician in an addiction treatment program – Get prescription drug addiction treatment NOW!
