While overdose deaths decreased by 36% from 2008 to 2014 across Riverside County, which includes the small city of Menifee, California, the area still struggles with substance abuse and overdose. Young adults are of particular concern. For example, 27% of overdose deaths among those ages 12 to 25 occurred in people younger than 20 years old.1
Losing so many people to addiction presents a serious crisis. Addiction is a complex and progressive condition, which tends to worsen as time goes on. The long-term use of many substances can lead to tolerance, which means that you require more drugs or alcohol to feel the desired effects. This can be a risk factor for overdosing on certain substances, such as opioids, since you may accidentally take a fatal dose in attempts to overcome your tolerance.
It’s important that you seek treatment if you find that you’re unable to control your drug or alcohol abuse. Since addiction results in changes in brain structure and function, it can be difficult to break the cycle of substance abuse on your own. That’s why professional treatment is available. There are numerous types of treatment programs, including outpatient, standard inpatient, holistic, faith-based, luxury, executive, and more. If you don’t know which program you’d prefer, you can always call our helpline for more information on available treatment options.

I am known as a chronic relapser and no matter how much I WANTED to stay sober I was unsuccessful after countless tries. I came into Hotel California completely broken. Hotel California gave me the tools to work through some hard life events that happened during my sobriety, taught me to love myself again and opened my eyes to what having fun in recovery looks like. My gratitude for Hotel, the staff and the friendships I developed while a client is high!
There is so much to say about Luxe and my experience there. Never before have I been to addiction center where both of the owners are so hands on and caring. Arthur and Ara are here everyday checking with everyone and their staff to make sure everyone is happy, getting what they came into treatment for and more. They customize treatment plans differently for each individual to meet their specific needs and wants. All the staff working here truly care about their clients and you can feel it. I always feel welcome and at home while I was there. The unconditional love and support that the staff provide is truly one of kind and makes all the difference when you are in such a fragile state. Physically and mentally I was broke down coming in. The warmth and support here is contagious and truly makes it such a special place to find sobriety. They pack you week with incredible activities! Activities that reminded me that I can still have fun sober and live my life to the fullest without drugs and alcohol. This was my last treatment center by the grace of God the one that changed my life forever.
