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.

The team at Invigorate Behavioral Health is amazing. Shane was incredibly helpful in teaching me about recovery. His personal story of overcoming challenges inspired me and gave me hope. I'm grateful for his guidance on my journey to sobriety.
I cant even begin to describe how amazing this staff is and how well this place is put together. I came in here being so rude and out of my mind- they all treated me so wonderful even though I was being ridiculous. This place saved my life and has made me keep striving to stay sober. The daily groups are incredible and have really helped me get to the root of why I am an addict. My family and I have grown a stronger bond and I am finally getting my life in the right direction because of this place! Honestly, Thank You Able To Change!
The staff is awesome, I was really welcomed. The house is super nice, we went to six flags magic mountain, went out to eat a lot, there’s a gym, pool, spa and a chef. 10/10 would recommend
