The Approach in Fullerton

Fullerton has put a number of strategies in place in order to address the substance abuse problem. These initiatives include:

  • Intervention efforts to target young people, providing them with information on alternatives that are healthier and happier. These include sports and educational activities to ensure young people grow into contributing adults.
  • Intervention efforts to target parents, providing families with the tools and resources they need to have open communication with their children about drug and alcohol abuse. It is hoped that this will avoid substance abuse from becoming normalized.
  • The Drug Court Program, which is a very intensive outpatient detox and rehab program, which people can undergo if they have a substance abuse problem and have had a brush with the law. Successful completion of the Drug Court Program means that they avoid a prison sentence.
  • Significant investments in state-sponsored detox and rehab programs, both outpatient and inpatient, to encourage people to seek the help they need and to remove the financial barriers towards access.
  • Huge investments in aftercare programs, which are designed for those who have gone through treatment and are ready to re-enter society. Aftercare programs include counseling and therapy, 12 step programs, self help support groups, and sober living facilities.

Fullerton hopes that the above initiatives will make a significant positive difference to the substance abuse problem in the city. Their goal is to create a fully drug-free Fullerton, which means both potential future substance abusers, and current substance abusers, have to be addressed. Through prevention, intervention, and action, they hope to make this a reality.
