Buena Park, California, which is home to about 83,000 people, is a small city located in Orange County.1 The area struggles with opioid abuse and overdose, part of the epidemic that is ravaging the rest of the United States.
Between 2011 and 2015, there were nearly 7,500 opioid overdose or intoxication cases treated in emergency rooms in Orange County. About 70% of all overdose deaths in the county involved opioids, such as heroin or prescription painkillers.2 So many of these emergencies and deaths can be prevented with proper intervention.
No matter how long you’ve been abusing drugs like prescription opioids or heroin, it’s never too late to turn your life around and receive treatment for your addiction. It can be difficult to quit on your own, but help is available. People who are addicted to opioids are likely to benefit from 24-hour, medical detox treatment. Staff members are available around-the-clock to administer medications and provide care and oversight while you withdraw from the drug.
Once you complete detox, you’ll want to enter a rehab program that specializes in treating your addiction. If you struggle with a co-occurring mental health condition, you’ll want to make sure that you enter a dual diagnosis treatment center that has experience managing co-occurring disorders. Nothing is more important than your health and happiness. Call our helpline to learn about treatment options in your area or elsewhere in the country.

Banyan Treatment Center is by far one of the best facilities for detox and recovery. All staff were professional and non judgmental. Treatment plans were tailored to the specific need of the client. Nursing staff remained vigilant in ensuring medications, vitals, and the over all health of the client was maintained during the detox process as well as the transition into residential living. I would definitely recommend Banyan Treatment Center to any individual suffering from substance abuse.

This is the place to go for anyone seeking help with recovery!
Connection, community, love, care, intelligence, understanding people. Never experienced anything I didn't think was effective. Nothing comes to mind when I think of weakness. I have to start with just beautiful. Tree House picked me up and showed me life again, the true meaning of life. We each have a different understanding of that but because of the work we put it on ourselves I was able to shape my life the way I wanted and everyday I wake up with understanding and STILL in awe that's it's true. The life I live is beautiful today and the depth of what we learn in Tree House is what helped me get there. The emotion behind my words are powerful, this is where change is.. Tree House saved my life and Its unique. I'd recommend it to anyone who wanted full transformation and a new beginning.
