While their efforts to reduce substance abuse among young people have been quite successful, much remains to be done, particularly in the levels of strong narcotics abuse. Various detox and rehab treatment centers are now available for people to turn to should they have developed an addiction. Some people seek out this help voluntarily, while others are court ordered to do so if they have been trialed for a nonviolent offense and have a substance abuse problem. In so doing, the city aims to remove barriers to access.
