The toll of addictions -especially drug and alcohol abuse- on this nation is appalling, with more people than ever in desperate need of drug treatment. Santa Francisco and other California cities are often considered to be hotbeds of substance abuse, but it can be a challenge for addicts or the friends and families of addicts to find effective options for drug or alcohol treatment. San Francisco and other California cities actually have a very large selection of rehab clinics to choose f r o m, and Drug-Rehab.org, a nonprofit referral and placement service, is there to point the way to the facility that makes the best sense based on the client’s needs, location and budget.
August 4, 2010 — The drug treatment Santa Francisco substance abusers need is available, but finding it has often been a challenge. When someone decides that they need help, or when their family decides to intervene, time is usually of the essence. But wading through the options can be time consuming, confusing and there is also the risk of picking the wrong rehab center. Enter Drug-Rehab.org, a nonprofit organization that tracks over 3,000 facilities nationwide, including drug and alcohol rehab. San Diego, San Francisco and hundreds of other cities are part of this network and Drug-Rehab.org counselors are always available to help people in need find a center that has a good reputation, offers programs to fit their specific need, and is within their budget.
California has always been somewhat of a national hotspot when it comes to substance abuse. As the nation’s most populous state, that might be expected, but there are other factors at play as well, including industries (including entertainment and technology) that are high stress, high paying and known to sometimes cultivate excess. In San Francisco, for example, this translates into an average monthly toll of 20 alcohol-related deaths and 4 deaths attributed to drug abuse, along with a daily police blotter that includes 13 drug-related arrests and 10 DUI arrests. Clearly, there is a need for drug and alcohol treatment. San Francisco offers many options for those seeking help, but a quick call to a Drug-Rehab.org counselor can make all the difference in finding the right one.
San Francisco has a population of over 800,000 making it the 12th largest city in the US. It also holds the dubious distinction of having the highest number of homeless inhabitants per capita of any major US city. Homelessness and substance abuse go hand in hand and it seems likely that at least some of these people could use help, but are uncertain of where to turn for Drug Treatment Santa Francisco and area residents can find the help they need, quickly, by contacting Drug-Rehab.org.
