Although Burbank, California, is often treated as a suburb of Los Angeles, it is a unique city just to the north of the larger metropolitan area. Burbank has a population of nearly 105,000 people.1
With its proximity to Los Angeles, Burbank struggles with many of the same substance abuse issues as the larger area, particularly opioids. Between 2012 and 2014, 5% of Los Angeles County residents abused prescription painkillers for nonmedical reasons; this represents 393,692 people. Between 2011 and 2015, treatment admissions due to prescription opioids rose slightly, but heroin—a drug many people begin to abuse when they are denied prescription opioids or cannot afford them anymore—became a much more prevalent source of admissions into detox and rehabilitation.2
With 115 people dying from opioid overdoses in the U.S. every day, evidence-based treatment is crucial to saving lives.3 Greater access to naloxone, medication-assisted treatment (MAT) for opioid dependence, and comprehensive rehabilitation programs with counseling can help individuals recover from their addictions and aid communities in managing the collective opioid crisis.

Excellent program thank you for coming to Galt. There isn\'t very much offered here in Galt. Many people have to travel to Sacramento. Great location right across the street from post office and right off freeway for easy access.
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.
I went through A New Start and graduated from the program last year. I can strongly say, without a doubt, that A New Start saved my life. I had absolutely nothing to look forward to, nothing to live for, before entering A New Start. I had no relationship with my family, I had no friends, and I was absolutely destroying my body, just to not feel anything. From my first admissions call, I knew I was going to be in the right place. I was given one on one attention and made to feel comfortable about my decision to enter this program. I\'m not going to lie- the program is not perfect...nothing is. There are little inconsistencies here and there that can be worked on, timeliness that can be worked on... but really, that\'s life! Having one day where I can\'t go to the gym at the promised time isn\'t going to make or break my sobriety. Having quality staff that genuinely care is what really helps you develop skills to stay sober. The one on one therapy was also incredible. The therapists are so great and really know what they\'re doing. They helped me get my relationship back with my family! I would have to say the day I look back on most fondly is my graduation. Staff stood in front of the community with me and vocalized all of the growth they had seen me experience. It was pretty incredible to have someone give me a certificate and remind me that I have come a long way. I have my 1 year sober birthday coming up, and I can genuinely say I wouldn\'t be here without A New Start. I still visit regularly as a member of the alumni program, and I wouldn\'t have it any other way.
