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.

Verify your coverageThe district is a one of a kind program, during my time there, and in the years after as i began working in the field, i noticed that what the district does really stands out. I was at the end of the road with my addiction but not quite willing to commit and the district was very good at meeting me where i was at. It created an environment for me where, if i did the work, then it was clear that it worked. It also created a safe enough environment for me to be held accountable when i didn’t do the work, which happened as it does to many of us. It was a safe enough environment for me to make those mistakes early on without it costing me my sobriety. As the years have gone on i still learn every day more and more about myself and have become more and more tuned into the idea that i’m here to live life on life’s terms. TDRC showed me how to be the person i wanted to be. I will forever highly recommend this program for anyone who wants to give this long term recovery thing a shot. The houses are beautiful, the friendships you make here are beautiful, and this recovery thing is beautiful. 😁
I owe my life to Inspire. It changed my outlook on what a healthy lifestyle is, and I am happy to say I am still sober and apply the tools I learned here every day!
Thank you for caring for me and providing a safe place to detox. I appreciate all the staff and therapists for helping me through the process. Facility is amazing with every amenity imaginable. Thank you for saving my life.
