The quality of life is high in San Diego, with its temperate weather and miles of coastline. However, drug abuse is no less of a threat in this vacation city than it is in any other part of the country.
In 2012, there were more than 6,000 treatment admissions related to methamphetamine and heroin alone.1 Additionally, SD County’s Drug Abuse Report Card shows that there were 253 opioid-related deaths and over 7,500 emergency room visits in 2015 throughout the county.2
If you’re one of the thousands of San Diego residents who needs help to stop abusing drugs or alcohol, you have options. It can be helpful to first meet with your doctor or an addiction treatment professional to discuss the various recovery outlets and which would be best suited to your situation.
You might want and/or need to start by entering a hospital-based detox center where your withdrawal symptoms—which in some cases may be severe or life-threatening—may be best managed. Medical detox is frequently advised for those with significant sedative, opioid, or alcohol dependence, but it can benefit people with a range of different substance use disorders.
Other substances like cocaine may not be associated with quite as severe an acute withdrawal syndrome but can cause significant psychological distress and physical discomfort. Relapse risks for any type of substance can be lowered with the support of professionals in an inpatient environment. After detox, your options include inpatient rehab, outpatient therapy, and more.
