Pomona, California, is home to around 149,473 people. It is found within Los Angeles County and it is located around 10 miles from Rancho Cucamonga and 6 miles from Ontario. During the 1990s, the city saw a population growth of around 13%. Since then, the city has continued to grow by approximately 1% per year. Unfortunately, Pomona is also home to a significant problem with drug and alcohol abuse. There is a proven correlation between this and violent crime levels, which are higher in Pomona than in the state as a whole. That said, there is an equally positive correlation between substance abuse and property crimes, of which the levels in Pomona are lower than the state average.

 

Pomona is committed to a three pronged approach in terms of substance abuse:

 

  1. Prevention - stopping young people in particular from accessing substances in the first place.
  2. Intervention - ensuring that those who are slipping down the road to addiction know that they can get help.
  3. Treatment - offering detox and rehab to those who are dependent on or addicted to substances.

 

Statistics on Substance Abuse in Pomona, CA

 

In order to ensure that city officials can create partnerships and coalitions to work on the three targets above, they first wanted to understand what the extent of the problem was. Hence, a significant piece of research has been conducted and it was demonstrated that:

 

  • 4.9% of full time employed adults over the age of 18 smoke, as well as 4.9% of those who are unemployed.
  • 1.8% of part time employed adults over the age of 18 smoke.
  • 2% of those who class themselves as "other" in terms of employment and who are over the age of 18 smoke.

 

Substance Abuse and Mental Illness in Pomona, CA

 

There is a significant concern about substance abuse and serious mental illness in Pomona. Health officials have recognized this and are studying the link between these illnesses and addiction. This is known as a co-occurring disorder. It is now known that both should be treated alongside each other, as a continuum, rather than two different entities. Yet, statistics have shown that:

 

  • 60.5% receive specialty treatment for either their addiction or their mental illness.
  • 11.4% receive specialized help for co-occurring disorders.
  • 45.2% receive mental health care only.
  • 3.7% receive detox and rehab treatment only.

 

Pomona is strongly engaged in prevention and early intervention campaigns. These have been very successful as around 11.1% of all youths aged between 12 and 17 have been in contact with these campaigns. However, it does seem as if some of the momentum has been lost, with a decreasing number of young people being engaged in these campaigns. As such, a new lease of life may be required so as to make sure statistics do not start to slip again.

 

A number of things still have to happen within the city, one of which is making detox and rehab treatment more accessible and affordable. In so doing, they ensure that people can regain their health and happiness, and once again become contributing members of the community.
