Modesto, California, is home to around 188,856 people, and it is found in Stanislaus County, which is around 53.5 miles from San Jose and 27.3 miles from Stockton. The population of Modesto exploded during the 1990s, with growth of around 15%. Today, the city continues to attract new people, and it is growing at a rate of around 2.9% per year. Unfortunately, Modesto has a significant drug and alcohol problem. This is reflected in the fact that both levels of violent crimes and property crimes are higher in Modesto than in the rest of the state. There has been a demonstrated correlation and causality between substance abuse and those types of crimes.

 

Statistics on Substance Abuse in Modesto, CA

 

The statistics on substance abuse in Modesto are quite alarming:

 

  • Almost 2% of the population of Modesto aged over 12 had first started using inhalants during the past year. Of these, 70.4% were younger than 11. This is a significant decrease from 2005, but continues to be an alarmingly high rate for young people in particular.
  • 90.8% of all young people, ages between 12 and 17, stated that their parents strongly disapproved cannabis use, even if they would only try it once or twice. Research has shown that only 4.3% of young people who have parents who strongly disapprove will try cannabis. In households where parents do not express disapproval, 29.8% of young people will try it. This demonstrates that the early intervention efforts that Modesto has put in place in order to engage parents in the lives of their children is showing positive results.
  • The Treatment Episode Data Set (TEDS) was completed in 2007 and looked at some 1.8 million admissions to detox and rehab facilities in California in 2007. They found that 96% of all admissions were in relation to alcohol (40%), opiates (particularly heroin) (19%), cannabis (16%), cocaine (13%), and stimulants (particularly meth) (8%). At the same time, the TEDS showed that 55% of people admitted to a substance abuse treatment facility abused more than one drug.

 

The Modesto Approach

 

Modesto has focused intensely on preventive measures, ensuring that parents have resources available to them to steer their children away from drug and alcohol abuse. At the same time, various educational and outreach programs are in place to ensure young people have healthy alternatives to choose from, as well as to teach them about the dangers of substance abuse. These efforts have been very successful, with lower rates of substance abuse among young people than in other parts of the country.

 

Of significant concern, however, is the link between crime and substance abuse in the state. There are quite high levels of driving under the influence, and above average levels of property and violent crimes. In order to address this, drug courts have been implemented, whereby offenders are referred to the Stanislaus Probation Department for detox and rehab treatment. If they complete the treatment and beat their addiction, criminal charges will be dropped.
