Chino, California, which is a city of almost 84,000 people, is located San Bernardino County.1 As more people move to the Inland Empire to enjoy San Bernardino County, it is important to understand some of the community struggles, like drug or alcohol abuse, and how Chino and surrounding cities are combating this problem.
The number of people entering addiction treatment in San Bernardino County appears to be steadily increasing, with just under 7,000 people enrolled in rehab between 2013 and 2014.2 This is good, as it means educational programs are beginning to work, and expanded healthcare access is making it easier for those who need addiction treatment to get the help they need. That being said, there are still many people struggling with addiction who don’t get the help they need.

Very team oriented with staff who are devoted to the work they do.
The Detox house was a 3 bedroom, 2 bath home in a nice neighborhood. Meals were catered for lunch and dinner. The cabinet and fridge were always full of anything you wanted to eat. Detox is 3-10 days depending on the severity of your addiction. No matter what you've heard, there is nothing they can provide you to feel better. Medical Assisted Therapy is provided after everything is out of your system. Residential housing is a larger 3bdr/3bath home in a nice neighborhood. There are two people to a room and men and women are in separate house. During the beach/park visits we are reintegrated with opposite sex. The houses were companion animal friendly. If you do not have one, the backyard includes a Koi pond with wild ducks. Transportation is provided by staff to all activities and daily meetings. 6 out of 7 meeting each week are AA. 12 step is emphasized but not a requirement. Majority of the residents were addicts, some were alcoholics. There were 25 men in 4 houses and 4 women living at a separate house. Living rooms had TVs with all the apps and movie channels installed. Bowflex, stationary bike, punching bags, and laundry machines in garage. What I learned in the program: -To live my life without using. -If you want to use again, your misery will be fully refunded.
