California Long Term Drug Rehab Centers

Long-Term Drug Rehab for California

California has an approximately 2,261,000 people with a alcohol abuse or dependence problem in the 2005, with an estimated 880,000 individuals that had dependence or addiction problems with illicit drugs.

Surveys have shown that 2,197,000 people in California needed alcohol rehab treatment but did not receive any care in 2005, which means that of the 2,261,000 people with alcohol problems, only 64,000 got any form of treatment. This doesn't mean that 13,000 alcoholics or people with alcohol problems were cured, it only speaks to that number receiving some kind of services. There were another 849,000 individuals were in need of drug addiction treatment but did not receive it.
As you know from reading on the home page of this site, the only effective treatment is Long-Term Rehab and since there are very few long-term facilities in Oklahoma, it can be estimated that very few of those 64,000 have found the level of care needed to end their addiciton.

California Drug Rehab Assessment Form

Drug trafficking, drug abuse and addiction, and the need for effective drug rehab are not expected to level off or drop anytime soon in California. Looking at the following figures we can see the percentages of California residents drug use for 2005.
Dependence on or abuse of any illicit drug or alcohol 9.31
Marijuana use in past year 11.41
Cocaine use in past year 2.15
Non-medical use of pain relievers 4.63
Alcohol abuse or dependence in last year 7.77
This is a sampling and is by no means complete.
When considering the drug problem in California, we also need to consider the impact of prescription drugs of abuse as well as methamphetamine, both of which have moved out of the local arena and have taken on the color of national epidemics, especially among youth. California statistics for 2005 show:
• Non-medical use of any prescription psychotherapeutic drugs in past year 2,038,000
• Non-medical use of pain relievers in past year 1,483,000
• Non-medical use of tranquilizers in past year 513,000
• Non-medical use of stimulants in past year 457,000
• Non-medical use of methamphetamine in past year 338,000
• Non-medical use of sedatives in past year 90,000

On a more personal level for the addict, alcoholic, or concerned loved one we can expect some or all of the following problems to escalate as the personal level of addiction or alcoholism increases:
For the addict or alcoholic (by no means a complete list):

• Continuing health deterioration including related illness and disease.
• Increasing levels of lying, deceit, excuses and other unwanted behaviors.
• Increasing disregard and abuse of family financial resources.
• Lessening or complete absence of family participation.
• Apparent lack of concern or care for their situation and addiction/alcoholism.
• For the loved one of an addict or alcoholic (again, not a complete list):
• Increased roller-coaster of emotions as one tries their best to understand and get through to their loved one.
• Increased feelings of being powerless to help.
• Increased distrust and disgust at our loved one's actions and attitudes.
• Increased stress of coping with family and financial problems related with our loved one's addiction or alcoholism.
• Increased feelings of isolation. (Special thanks to stopaddiction.com for these stats)

There are literally hundreds of treatment providers in California. We have access to those that are the best, whether thay be fee-for-service of government funded. Please call us and we can put you in touch with those programs that have been effective and are rated as some of the best.

Every state has a "Single State Agency" whose responsibility is to oversee the licensing, funding and supervision of its alcohol and drug rehab programs. These agencies are usually under the supervision of the Health Departments and may include mental health services as well.

For those persons that need state funed programs, you need to be aware that the budgets for the Single State Agencies usually doesn't allow for the funding of longterm drug rehab, but our counselors will find state funded programs if they are available and if you qualify under they income standards.

We also have long term drug rehab and alcohol treatment programs that have outomes that are approximately 8 times higher than state-funded programs and some of our programs have scholarships, so it is best that you contact us to find the best possible longterm program for your individual needs.

The link to the California SSA is http://www.adp.cahwnet.gov/ however, this site does not list individual geographical areas or programs, so, again, it is best that you contact our office for help.

A statement from their website: "The Department of Alcohol and Drug Programs is responsible for administering prevention, treatment, and recovery services for alcohol and drug abuse and problem gambling.

If you or someone you know has a problem with alcohol, drugs or gambling, there are services available throughout California to help you get on the road to recovery. We hope you will come to rely on this website as a resource to understand the problems associated with alcohol or drug use or problems associated with gambling.ervice to get people help for addiction problems. Certified counselors are available to assist you with your drug rehab questions. Many drug rehab centers and programs are available for people from California, however, the best long-term centers are not located in every state. We can help guide you to finding the appropriate drug rehab program for your situation.

Finding a drug rehab center in California for either alcohol or drug addiction can be really confusing with all the different programs and philosophies. Especially with the different drugs that are in our society today, such as Meth, Crack Cocaine, Heroin and other hard drugs. Drug rehabs had to evolved with such addictive drugs. Drug rehabilitation is a process with different phases that will bring the individual to a drug free life".

It is designated as the Single State Agency (SSA) responsible for administering and coordinating the State's efforts in alcohol and drug abuse prevention, treatment, and recovery services.

The Department utilizes each of the 58 county alcohol and drug programs as the broker of service. The counties in turn are able to provide services to clients either directly or by contracting with local service providers. California enjoys a statewide treatment, recovery and prevention network consisting of over 850 public and private community-based service providers which serve approximately 300,000 clients annually.

Sleep Doctor No More
Implicated as a user of prescription and recreational drugs

A drug-plagued La Jolla psychiatrist specializing in sleep disorders has agreed to permanently surrender his license to practice medicine in California, according to a stipulation with the state's medical board. On November 5, 2014, the board alleged that Bradley John Schnierow was an addict who had written 48 controlled-drug prescriptions for a girlfriend in a year's time.

In March 2013, Schnierow had resigned from the staff at Scripps Memorial Hospital and could no longer practice medicine there. Instead, he "would 'sneak in to the Scripps' property in an attempt to see patients in the lobby," according to another board allegation. In addition, a former landlord said crack pipes had been found in the physician's office, and DEA agents discovered pot, a bong, and "15 glass pipes with methamphetamine residue and a myriad of other pills, substances, and injectables," according to a TV report.
