California Long Term Drug Rehab Centers

Long-Term Drug Rehab for California

California has an approximately 2,261,000 people with a alcohol abuse or dependence problem in the 2005, with an estimated 880,000 individuals that had dependence or addiction problems with illicit drugs.

Surveys have shown that 2,197,000 people iin Oklahoma needed alcohol rehab treatment but did not receive any care in 2005, which means that of the 2,261,000 people with alcohol problems, only 64,000 got any form of treatment. This doesn't mean that 13,000 alcoholics or people with alcohol problems were cured, it only speaks to that number receiving some kind of services. There were another 849,000 individuals were in need of drug addiction treatment but did not receive it.
As you know from reading on the home page of this site, the only effective treatment is Long-Term Rehab and since there are very few long-term facilities in Oklahoma, it can be estimated that very few of those 64,000 have found the level of care needed to end their addiciton.

California Drug Rehab Assessment Form

Drug trafficking, drug abuse and addiction, and the need for effective drug rehab are not expected to level off or drop anytime soon in California. Looking at the following figures we can see the percentages of California residents drug use for 2005.
Dependence on or abuse of any illicit drug or alcohol 9.31
Marijuana use in past year 11.41
Cocaine use in past year 2.15
Non-medical use of pain relievers 4.63
Alcohol abuse or dependence in last year 7.77
This is a sampling and is by no means complete.
When considering the drug problem in California, we also need to consider the impact of prescription drugs of abuse as well as methamphetamine, both of which have moved out of the local arena and have taken on the color of national epidemics, especially among youth. California statistics for 2005 show:
• Non-medical use of any prescription psychotherapeutic drugs in past year 2,038,000
• Non-medical use of pain relievers in past year 1,483,000
• Non-medical use of tranquilizers in past year 513,000
• Non-medical use of stimulants in past year 457,000
• Non-medical use of methamphetamine in past year 338,000
• Non-medical use of sedatives in past year 90,000

On a more personal level for the addict, alcoholic, or concerned loved one we can expect some or all of the following problems to escalate as the personal level of addiction or alcoholism increases:
For the addict or alcoholic (by no means a complete list):

• Continuing health deterioration including related illness and disease.
• Increasing levels of lying, deceit, excuses and other unwanted behaviors.
• Increasing disregard and abuse of family financial resources.
• Lessening or complete absence of family participation.
• Apparent lack of concern or care for their situation and addiction/alcoholism.
• For the loved one of an addict or alcoholic (again, not a complete list):
• Increased roller-coaster of emotions as one tries their best to understand and get through to their loved one.
• Increased feelings of being powerless to help.
• Increased distrust and disgust at our loved one's actions and attitudes.
• Increased stress of coping with family and financial problems related with our loved one's addiction or alcoholism.
• Increased feelings of isolation. (Special thanks to stopaddiction.com for these stats)

Every state has a "Single State Agency" whose responsibility is to oversee the licensing, funding and supervision of its alcohol and drug rehab programs. These agencies are usually under the supervision of the Health Departments and may include mental health services as well.

For those persons that need state funed programs, you need to be aware that the budgets for the Single State Agencies usually doesn't allow for the funding of longterm drug rehab, but our counselors will find state funded programs if they are available and if you qualify under they income standards.

We also have long term drug rehab and alcohol treatment programs that have outomes that are approximately 8 times higher than state-funded programs and some of our programs have scholarships, so it is best that you contact us to find the best possible longterm program for your individual needs.

The link to the California SSA is http://www.adp.cahwnet.gov/ however, this site does not list individual geographical areas or programs, so, again, it is best that you contact our office for help.

A statement from their website: "The Department of Alcohol and Drug Programs is responsible for administering prevention, treatment, and recovery services for alcohol and drug abuse and problem gambling.

If you or someone you know has a problem with alcohol, drugs or gambling, there are services available throughout California to help you get on the road to recovery. We hope you will come to rely on this website as a resource to understand the problems associated with alcohol or drug use or problems associated with gambling.ervice to get people help for addiction problems. Certified counselors are available to assist you with your drug rehab questions. Many drug rehab centers and programs are available for people from California, however, the best long-term centers are not located in every state. We can help guide you to finding the appropriate drug rehab program for your situation.

Finding a drug rehab center in California for either alcohol or drug addiction can be really confusing with all the different programs and philosophies. Especially with the different drugs that are in our society today, such as Meth, Crack Cocaine, Heroin and other hard drugs. Drug rehabs had to evolved with such addictive drugs. Drug rehabilitation is a process with different phases that will bring the individual to a drug free life".

MEDICAL POT DECISIONS IN STOCKTON'S NEAR FUTURE

STOCKTON - Officials at City Hall have been spending a lot of time discussing marijuana lately.

On Tuesday, the City Council will consider adopting a strict set of rules that will allow a limited number of medical marijuana dispensaries to operate in the city.

The same day, the city will continue its legal fight in San Joaquin County Superior Court with a dispensary that opened last year before officials figured out how to regulate medical-pot sales.

And in the coming weeks, the City Council will consider placing a broad business tax overhaul measure on the November ballot that, in part, would levy a 2.5 percent tax on gross revenues at pot dispensaries. That annual tax could apply to marijuana sold for medical purposes or otherwise, depending on whether state voters legalize marijuana for recreational uses.

As for the medical pot rules, the proposed regulations include provisions that:

Initially cap the number of pot dispensaries that can operate in Stockton at three, with a future limit of one per 100,000 residents as the city grows.

Require dispensaries to obtain a $30,000 operator's permit in addition to other application fees.

Limit dispensaries to within 300 feet of homes or religious institutions; within 500 feet of a transitional housing facility; and within 1,000 feet of schools, libraries, parks and any other dispensary.

Impose a bevy of rules on security, lighting, operations and workers.

Should the council adopt the ordinance, the tax on the dispensaries could soon follow. The proposal is part of a larger city business tax overhaul that is required by law to go before voters.

At a recent City Council committee meeting, officials said they hoped the marijuana tax wouldn't overshadow the other changes to business taxes they hope to implement.

Councilwoman Susan Eggman said she wasn't concerned about that. "( Voters ) aren't saying if you want marijuana or not, you're saying if we have it, we should tax it," she said. "I think voters can make that distinction."

More and more cities, from Sacramento to the Bay Area, have considered similar taxes.

Kris Hermes, a spokesman for Americans for Safe Access in Oakland, said the advocacy group supports taxing marijuana if it is legalized by voter initiative this year. But medical dispensaries are a different issue, he said.

"Medicine already is quite expensive," he said. "Our stand, from a patient's perspective, is these facilities need not be further taxed."

Much of the local debate was sparked last fall, when a central Stockton medical marijuana dispensary opened on East Acacia Street.

The opening of Pathways Family Health Cooperative Counseling forced the City Council to revisit medical marijuana, a subject it last considered, and eventually dropped, in 2005.

The city sought court orders to shut Pathways and another dispensary, California Opathic Patient Association. The city won preliminary injunctions earlier this year, but Pathways appealed and reopened.

Before the City Council meeting Tuesday, officials will argue for court sanctions against Pathways, Deputy City Attorney Guy Petzold said. Source: Record, The (Stockton, CA)
