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.
