Oakland, California, is a very attractive place for drug smugglers, who bring cannabis, methamphetamine, heroin, and cocaine in from Mexico. At the same time, both cannabis and meth are also produced in California. Interestingly, across the state, there are very different substance abuse problems. For instance, San Francisco seems to favor heroin, rural areas fall prey to meth, as does Sacramento, and Oakland has a particular problem with crack cocaine and heroin.
Information on Substance Abuse in Oakland, CA
Besides the above-mentioned problems, Oakland also has an issue with alcohol abuse. Alcohol is a readily available substance that can be legally purchased by anyone over the age of 21. However, it seems an increasing number of young people consume alcohol long before that age, and they generally find it very easy to access it as well. This is of significant concern, and some intervention efforts have been instated with schools and health departments to educate young people about the dangers of alcohol, particularly as a gateway drug, and to provide them with healthier alternatives.
Oakland has also invested quite heavily in offering people who suffer from addiction the opportunity to receive treatment. There are now various state-sponsored detox and rehab facilities available. These include residential and outpatient treatment. Once people complete their treatment, they are further supported through significant aftercare programs, including counseling, sober living facilities, 12 step groups, peer support organizations, and more.
