Drug & Alcohol Rehab Centers near Carlsbad, CA

I've worked in the addiction industry for several years now. Personally, I went through treatment 24 times. This place, although somewhat new, is one of the up and coming centers in the country. They do things the right way. I worked here for a little while and strongly suggest this place for clients and families. I would put their staff up against any in the entire industry. From my experience and its a long list, this facility is at or near the top. If you're a young or middle aged male, give yourself a chance and check this place out. Strongly recommended!

First Step Sober Living

My brother went through this program after being a heroine addict for 10 years- This was the best program we could find in North County, they also have several other locations to choose from which is great. If it wasn\'t for Wes and the other members of the program I don\'t think my brother would be alive today. He has not been sober for a year, working full-time, and has made a complete 180 degree turn around. This program exceeds any other out there hands down because the house manager as well as the house mates keep each other accountable for your actions. Not only did my brother gain a sense of purpose, but he actually made a few great friendships along the way. There is no better gift I could have been given than for my brother to have gained his health, mind, body and soul back. My relationship with my brother is better than it ever has been, and there are no words to express my gratitude for everyone involved in my brother\'s recovery. Trust and believe in the owners of First Step Sober Living- they will not disappoint.

More Info

The city of Carlsbad is just north of San Diego, along Southern California’s beautiful coastline. As of 2016, this small city’s population was about 112,000 residents.¹ Amidst the natural beauty of the city, many Carlsbad residents struggle with addiction to drugs or alcohol. This has led to an increased rate of overdose deaths in the last decade.

In the San Diego County area, there were about 13.7 drug overdose deaths for every 100,000 people in 2010, which was an increase from 12.4 in 2009. Of these overdose deaths, 81.1% were accidental overdoses, which indicates problematic substance abuse.² Someone abusing a dangerous drug like heroin may take too much to get high and wind up overdosing.

Treating an overdose requires emergency medical attention. Without admission to an emergency room, someone suffering from an overdose is more likely to die. These deaths can be prevented by seeking treatment. If you’re struggling with drug abuse, it’s important to get help from a rehab before an overdose leads to health problems or worse.

Risks of Heroin Abuse

Heroin overdoses have been problematic in Carlsbad and other areas outside of San Diego. But overdose isn’t the only negative effect of heroin abuse and addiction.

Before it kills you, heroin slowly siphons everything good out of your life, including:

Your health
Your ability to provide for yourself and your family
Everything you’ve worked for in your career
Your relationships

The trajectory from first use to full-blown addiction is short and steep. Most people are physically dependent within a couple weeks of regular use of the drug and many say that psychological dependence kicked in the very first time they used it. Loss associated with use of heroin begins just as quickly and lasts until the day you quit.
