Elk Grove is a particularly beautiful part of the state of California. It is home to some 85,584 people, who largely live in harmony with each other. Unfortunately, it is also home to a significant drug and alcohol problem.

The Alcohol Problem in Elk Grove

Statistics have shown that:

  • 38,513 people in Elk Grove do not drink at all.
  • 22,252 drink alcohol, but have less than one drink per week.
  • 60,765 drink more regularly, but not to levels that are of concern.
  • 20,540 people, however, have an alcohol problem.

Once people are classed as an alcoholic or alcohol dependent, it is vital that they receive medical help to deal with it. This is due to the fact that the withdrawal symptoms associated with alcohol detox have the potential to be life threatening. A variety of alcohol treatment programs have been set up in the city, therefore, to provide people with this help.

Elk Grove has completed a piece of research on the correlation between alcohol advertising and alcohol consumption. What this research showed was that this correlation was particularly strong in the younger population. Unfortunately, in Elk Grove, drinking has been normalized among young people, who report that having access to alcohol, even before they are 21, is relatively easy. This is a significant problem that must be addressed.

The Drug Problem in Elk Grove

Research has shown that some 7,959 people in Elk Grove currently have a substance abuse problem. Specifically:

  • 1,258 people consume alcohol while also abusing another substance.
  • 1,202 people use cannabis, many of whom are young people.
  • 1,011 people abuse heroin.
  • 708 people smoke or snort crack cocaine.
  • 613 people abuse stimulants.
  • 255 people abuse opiates other than heroin.
  • 239 people abuse powdered cocaine.
  • 16 people abuse tranquilizers.
  • 9 people abuse PCP.
  • 9 people abuse sedatives.
  • 8 people abuse hallucinogenic drugs like LSD or ecstasy.
  • 10 people abuse inhalants.
  • 32 people abuse other forms of illicit drugs.

Elk Grove is aware of its substance abuse problems and has put systems in place to address them. In fact, two areas of focus have been identified. The first is to prevent people from turning to drugs or alcohol in the first place. Significant intervention outreach programs have been developed, targeting young people in particular, in an effort to stop people from developing a substance abuse problem.

The second element is that of treatment. A variety of detox and rehab facilities, both state sponsored and private, have been identified where people can go to beat their addiction. Some of these settings are outpatient based, while others are residential. Wherever possible, people are encouraged to attend residential treatment, as this has been demonstrated to have more potential of delivering permanent sobriety, particularly if people attend for 90 days or more. However, understanding that this is not always possible, Elk Grove has also invested heavily in aftercare services, so that anyone, regardless of the type of rehab they attended, is able to continue to receive help.
