Fremont, California, is experiencing a very serious substance abuse problem, mainly with heroin. The city is known for being near Silicon Valley, where many people are high flying executives working for tech startup companies. However, the stressful and fast paced life these people within this world lead has given rise to high demand for drugs and alcohol.

 

Treatment Facilities Speak Out

 

In a recent piece of confidential research, it was found that detox and rehab facilities have seen a huge increase in executives from companies such as Yahoo!, Google, Facebook, Twitter, and Apple who look for help. Naturally, these will generally go to private, luxury facilities, rather than state-sponsored ones. Some of the most commonly abused substances by these executives include Adderall for the treatment of ADHD, oxycodone, heroin, and cocaine.

 

Following this research, health officials have come together to determine what can be done. Some form of early intervention is clearly required, as it seems that drug abuse among executives is very much covered up. Naturally, it does nothing for the public image of a company if it is found that their employees are addicted to a drug or alcohol.

 

It is not known just how many busy employees in Fremont, CA, are suffering from an addiction. However, experts have seen a cocktail for disaster: sudden wealth, huge competitions, deadlines, and the availability of drugs on the black market. Too many workers feel they have to continue to perform to be better than their colleague on the next desk, and this means they turn to meth or cocaine just to stay awake. Interestingly, as well, despite most tech companies knowing that there is a worsening problem with drug and alcohol abuse among their staff, few if any ever conduct drug tests. This is because they want results, and staff can only deliver those when they use those substances.

 

Intervention Efforts and More

 

At present, many executives and others in Fremont continue to be addicted to prescription painkillers and cocaine. The worry is that the city will not be immune to the heroin epidemic as it becomes increasingly difficult to access prescription opioids on the black market. As such, it is important that interventions are put in place immediately.

 

To do this, public health officials in Fremont have started to engage in strong intervention campaigns. They want to educate the public about the dangers of substances, and about the fact that they lead to a road of addiction. At the same time, they aim to work together with the various Silicon Valley tech companies to come up with ways to put less pressure on staff. Companies are encouraged to sign up to drug testing programs, so that they become more aware of the situation themselves. Various detox and rehab facilities have offered this service, but the take up has been small.

 

The one positive development, at present, is that people in Fremont who suffer from alcohol abuse tend to go to luxury facilities where they receive the best quality treatment to deal with their addiction.
