Drug & Alcohol Rehab Centers near El Cajon, CA
The small city of El Cajon, California, is located close to San Diego, and much like the residents of San Diego, individuals living in El Cajon are plagued by drug and alcohol abuse. Opioid abuse is a particular concern in San Diego County, with opioid-related emergency room visits tripling between 2006 and 2014 for individuals between the ages of 20 and 39 years old.1
The opioid abuse epidemic in the United States is partially fueled by narcotics brought up through Mexico. For decades, heroin was the main narcotic released onto the U.S. black market, but now, clandestine labs are also creating unregulated versions of fentanyl, a powerful painkiller that is between 50 and 100 times more potent than morphine.2
Fentanyl is increasingly responsible for the spike in opioid overdose deaths in the last several years, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Fentanyl has been added to heroin or sold in place of heroin, which means that people who struggle with heroin addiction don’t know what they’re taking. Even small amounts of fentanyl can be toxic and may lead to overdose and death. The CDC reports that the current opioid overdose death rate is 115 people per day.3

AToN Center
I cannot stress enough how fantastic this treatment program is and how much they helped me. The facilities are beautiful. The food is excellent with chefs who are very responsive to dietary needs or special requests. The Resident Assistants are wonderful and always willing to listen. Most importantly, the psychologists and counselors are amazing. With three group sessions and one individual session every day you get a great deal of time, without being overwhelmed, in counseling. With an option for programs like EMDR, you really get the opportunity to delve into deep issues, which is not something all programs provide. Furthermore, the holistic treatments really help you to relax during a very trying time. Overall, I cannot recommend AToN enough. They saved my family and my life. I would urge anyone looking for a treatment facility to give AToN a call and see if they fit your needs.
Ascend Healthcare - Empress House
I couldn't be more happy with the recovery my son made while at Ascend. Being extremely oppositional and in denial of his poor mental health, I was not sure that he would ever open up and accept treatment and transformation, but about 2.5 weeks in, he did. The result can only be called miraculous. He gained a lot of insight into the roots of his anxiety and depression, and, in his words, "got to know [him]self again." The combination of skills classes, group therapy, individual therapy, animal therapy and family therapy was what he needed. His and my communication has also radically changed for the better, thanks to family therapy and the DBT and other parent classes I took while my son was in residence. I would highly recommend Ascend Healthcare for a comprehensive and highly competent residential program.
