Those who are addicted to drugs or alcohol have a negative impact on every level of society. They damage their own health and therefore place a drain on the health care system. They break the law and therefore are a burden on the criminal justice system. They harm their families, who are sick with worry about them. They often can't work because of their addiction. There is nothing positive about substance abuse, in other words. However, addiction is not a choice. It is a recognized, chronic, mental illness and it must be treated as such. Treating someone with an addiction has a positive impact on every element of society in return, and this is something officials in Lynwood, CA, are very much aware of.

Statistics on Drug and Alcohol Abuse in Lynwood, CA

Because Lynwood is in Los Angeles County, its drug and alcohol abuse statistics look very poor, as they are joined with those of Los Angeles itself. There is a high prevalence of all forms of substance abuse, therefore, as well as of drug trafficking and manufacturing. One of the particular issues that public health officials are paying attention to is that many addicted people often go to the hospital because of injuries and repeat injuries. It is here, therefore, that a lot of emphasis is being placed, as this could be an opportunity to offer these people the help that they need.

If you or someone you care about requires help with a drug or alcohol problem in Lynwood, CA, you have a number of treatment options to choose from. These include:

  • BAART Lynwood
  • Teen Challenge Los Angeles

Getting Help with Substance Abuse in Lynwood, CA

In most cases, people with an addiction do not actively seek for the help that they need until they go through some sort of intervention. This is because denial is a key feature of addictions. The old belief that addicted people can't get help until they hit rock bottom, or until they admit that they have a problem, does not hold true anymore, however. Hence, the focus is now strongly on getting people into treatment, not getting people to choose to have treatment.

The road to recovery starts with detox, during which time the body becomes clean and the physical addiction is broken. This usually comes with significant, albeit rarely dangerous, withdrawal symptoms. The biggest danger of these symptoms is that patients may decide to return to their substance to find relief from the withdrawal symptoms, at which point they are at greatest risk of overdose. Hence, detox should always be medically supervised.

After detox, patients will then enter rehab treatment. Both inpatient and outpatient rehab facilities exist, both of which have their particular pros and cons. It is important to research them, therefore, and choose the one that is more appropriate. During rehab, counseling and therapy are offered on a one to one basis and in groups. When it is required, family counseling is also offered. This then culminates in the creation of an aftercare plan, which ensures that patients continue to be supported once they leave treatment.
