Palmdale Intervention

 

Following the public health study, Palmdale authorities immediately took action. They set up a program in a form of intervention, which aims to reduce the number of young people who turn to substances. They have done this through outreach and education programs, whereby young people learn about the dangers of substance abuse, and the link between alcohol and cannabis and illicit substances. At the same time, they are provided with alternatives in an effort to keep them on the right path. Furthermore, the program involved parents, who are encouraged to keep the lines of communication open when it comes to substance abuse. Various community organizations, educational establishments, and health officials are taking part in this.

 

Palmdale Treatment

 

At the same time, Palmdale has put processes in place to help the people who have already fallen victim to addiction. They have ensured that both detox and rehab are more accessible, and that financial concerns are no longer a barrier to access. While a number of private luxury and executive facilities exist, state sponsored treatment facilities are also available. In many cases, payments are organized on a sliding scale, meaning people only pay what they can actually afford.

 

As part of the treatment process, Palmdale has also ensured that aftercare is in place. This includes access to continuous therapy, sober living facilities, and 12 step programs. In so doing, they hope to see a reduction in the number of people who relapse.
