San Bernardino, California, has recently conducted an extensive piece of research to determine just how bad the substance abuse problem in the city is. The study's goal was to use the results to drive new policy for prevention, early intervention, and treatment. In so doing, it has made a positive difference in the lives of San Bernardino community members.

 

Results of the Study for San Bernardino, CA

 

  • The national annual cost of alcohol and drug abuse, which includes prevention, treatment, health care, lost productivity, social welfare, and crime, is $240 billion. $97 billion of this is related specifically to drugs.
  • 31% of new female drinkers in San Bernardino are between the ages of 10 and 14. In the 1960s, this figure was just 7%.
  • There is a particular concern in San Bernardino with young people using inhalants. This is because over 1,000 readily available household products can be used as an inhalant, which means addressing this through criminalization is almost impossible.
  • Many people who first enter the employment market turn to meth because they believe it makes them more productive, as it enables them to stay awake.
  • 25% of teens say they know at least one young person who has used Ecstasy, and 17% know more than one.

 

The San Bernardino Approach

 

It is no secret that there are far more people who need treatment for drug and alcohol abuse, than those who actually get it. In fact, it is believed that only around 11% of those who need treatment, will ever receive it. Hence, San Bernardino has increased funding for state-sponsored detox and rehab facilities, where people can beat their dependency and addiction issues. Most of these facilities are outpatient facilities, but there is also a drive towards extending this to residential rehab, including long term residential rehab, as this has been proven to be more successful.

 

Additionally, San Bernardino has instated the system of drug courts. This means that those who have a substance abuse problem and who get in contact with the criminal justice system, are given the opportunity to seek help instead of going to prison. These drug courts take a very tough approach in an effort to force addicted people to get the help that they need, and this system has seen significant successes.

 

At the same time, public health officials in San Bernardino have put prevention and early intervention programs in place. These are targeted mainly at the younger population. Because statistics continue to show that young people get into contact with drugs and alcohol from an ever-younger age, the city aims to change the perception of young people that substances are safe to use. Although legal, for instance, alcohol is a strong gateway drug. Similarly, prescription medication are incredibly dangerous, even if they are prescribed, and cannabis is dangerous despite being a natural product. It is hoped that, by offering young people healthy alternatives, they will be more likely to stay away from dangerous substances. These include providing young people with the skills to resist peer pressure and being able to say "no".
