Although Perris, CA, in Riverside County, may be a relatively tranquil and great place to live, there is an underlying thread of substance abuse that is hurting the community.
In 2015, there were 930 overdose deaths in the county.1 In 2013, there were about 13 overdose deaths per 100,000 people in the area, and the goal is to reduce this rate to 11.3 per 100,000 people by 2020.2 It is important that Riverside officials reduce the rate of substance abuse by expanding treatment program availability, because dangerous new drugs are being brought north over the Mexico-California border.
Fentanyl is one of the most harmful substances in the United States today. Although the drug was originally developed as a pharmaceutical pain medication for very severe pain, illicit versions have become increasingly prevalent on the black market now. Labs in South and Central American produce this opioid narcotic, which can be as much as 100 times more powerful than morphine and ship it into the U.S. It is commonly mixed with heroin, sold instead of heroin, and sometimes mixed into other drugs like cocaine, meth, or MDMA because it is so cheap that it makes an easy adulterant. Illicit fentanyl is the main cause of the spike in overdose deaths since 2012. Now, cities like Perris are beginning to experience a spike in their own overdose deaths due to fentanyl, even though much of Southern California had escaped the problem for years.3

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Asana. I googled ‘best detox facilities’ and Asana stood out as one that caters to you as a unique individual and not just the cookie cutter institutional facility so I braved it and gave them a call. I was immediately connected to Kelsey who helped me coordinate everything for my trip within an hour to start my treatment. It was my first time in a detox and I had no idea what to expect and was extremely nervous about taking the first step. Kelsey told me someone will pick me up from the airport which was wonderful, Angel picked me up at the airport and immediately asked if I was hungry or thirsty and offered to take me to get something to eat. He could not have been kinder and more welcoming. He took me straight to the house and I was met with Morgan who helped me do all the paperwork that first night and made me feel so comfortable through a very stressful day, she helped me get settled and made sure I knew I could come to her for anything and everything. From the techs to the nurses they made me feel like I was their only client and not once did they not listen to what I needed to say. They checked in on me often and never pushed me to take anything or do anything I was uncomfortable with. They all went out of their way to genuinely talk to me and share their story and wisdom to help me through my recovery. I always felt safe and most of the time did not feel patient/client, I felt like I was at a second home with a lot of caring friends. They made being sober easy, I never laughed as much as I did and never was I able to share so honestly and openly what my issues were. One of the staff members (Angel) in an effort to make me comfortable went out and even bought me all the ingredients to make Vietnamese soup on his day off (which took half a day), he knew I loved to cook and it gave me a piece of home when I was so homesick. I was and still am so grateful. Thank you (In no particular order and I’m sure I’m missing someone) Shaina, Morgan, Angel, Ken, Scott, Mike, Kelsey, Mark, Adam, Chris, Meg, Jodi, Brian, David, John, and everyone else that was there through my stay. I can sincerely say without them I would not have been able to do this. I will forever be grateful. They have my son back his mom and my mom back her daughter. - Lili
