In 2009, Ontario, California, was home to 159,975 individuals. Unfortunately, it was also found that substance abuse was an ever increasing problem in this city. This is true for both alcohol and drugs, comprising illicit street drugs but also prescription pain medication abuse.

The Alcohol Problem in Ontario, CA

In the city of Ontario, 71,989 people have indicated that they never consume alcohol, whereas 41,594 state that they have less than one drink. A further 113,582 do drink alcohol regularly, but not to an unhealthy level. This leaves 38,394 people who are classed as heavy drinkers or alcoholics.

An alcohol addiction is a serious problem, and it is vitally important that people get help for this. In fact, around 74,000 people nationwide die as a result of alcohol each year, and this costs the nation $183 billion. It is particularly important to access medically supported detox facilities if someone is addicted to alcohol, due to the fact that the withdrawal symptoms have the potential to be lethal.

In Ontario, research on advertising for alcohol has been conducted to determine how much this has contributed to the overall problem. They found that no positive correlation exists between the two. However, they did find that there is a significant correlation between alcohol advertisements and underage drinking. Too many young people in Ontario start drinking early, and they see alcohol consumption as a positive issue. As a result, many young people become alcoholics later on in life.

It is vital that an intervention take place for someone who abuses alcohol, illicit drugs, or prescription medication. The number of people needing rehab treatment in Ontario is growing every year. This has given rise to a larger number of substance abuse treatment centers, encouraging people to firstly go through a period of detox, followed by rehab.

Rehab facilities in Ontario are either residential or deliver their services on an outpatient basis. Residential treatment has been proven to have far better outcomes, and people are encouraged to go there, therefore. Either way, following rehab, significant aftercare programs have been put in place. These include further counseling and therapy, self help groups, 12 step programs, sober living facilities, and more. By ensuring that people can continue to receive help after they have become clean, Ontario hopes to reduce the rate of relapse among its population.
