Carson, California, is a city of roughly 93,000 people, just north of Long Beach.1 As one of the many smaller cities scattered through Los Angeles County, Carson has easy access to Los Angeles, beautiful beaches, and great opportunities, but the area also struggles with opioid abuse, and increasingly, fentanyl is becoming a huge problem in the area.
Since 2012, a new wave of illicit fentanyl has led to a spike in opioid overdose deaths around the United States.2 This powerful opioid was originally designed for prescription use in people with severe, chronic pain who had developed a tolerance to other opioid drugs. However, clandestine labs in other countries have begun to manufacture this synthetic opioid on the cheap and ship it to the US. It is cheaper than heroin, cocaine, and even methamphetamine, so the drug is being added to these other drugs without the knowledge of the person struggling with addiction.3 This has caused thousands of people to overdose. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) found that, in part because of an increase in illicit fentanyl, 115 people die from opioid overdoses in the U.S. every day.4
Los Angeles County did not have a problem with fentanyl for a few years, but now the drug is entering Southern California as an unknown additive in cocaine and meth. Any kind of drug abuse is dangerous, but with fentanyl appearing in many other illegal drugs, getting treatment to prevent overdose and death is necessary. Call us today to get started on the path to that treatment.

First I’d like to say that I never leave reviews. I’ve never been that type of person to take the time to insert my opinion on any forum whatsoever. But the quality of care my niece received at this location was above and beyond. Having failed many attempts to get clean in both residential and outpatient facilities, Luxe recovery has been an oasis on an otherwise desolate situation. Between, the staff, location and outstanding groups, I’ve had the privilege of witnessing my niece go through a revolutionary change. A change my family and I never thought would come. We will always be grateful for Luxe recovery and it’s staff for giving my once fractured family the opportunity to be whole again.

It saved my sons life. he has been to other rehab center but this was by far the best and i would highly recommend it. i found no weakness in its rehab. my son and my family are very grateful for the help we received. they not only help your addiction but the also look at what got you there and also help you prepare to go out in to the world and prepare you for issues that might come up and how to deal with them.

My cousin struggled with meth and weed for years. After an intervention (which the folks at Asana attended), he went to Asana Recovery in OC, did their residential program, and now he’s 28 months sober. Asana really helped him turn his life around.
