Drug & Alcohol Rehab Centers near Redondo Beach, CA
Recreational marijuana use was legalized in California in 2016 when the state passed Proposition 64; however, the new law allowed individual cities to decide how they wanted to manage both recreational and medical marijuana. Many cities across the state, including Redondo Beach, California, decided they preferred to keep marijuana illegal.1
Although Redondo Beach is discussing how to handle storefronts, and the city does allow people to discretely grow their own marijuana, the city has not made it completely legal.2 Many cities throughout Los Angeles County have decided to keep recreational marijuana illegal, because of the numerous problems associated with it.
Alcohol and tobacco are two examples of legal drugs that are addictive and have a number of potentially negative health outcomes associated with their use, but the discussion about whether it is similarly acceptable to allow marijuana to be more widely available through legalization is an important, ongoing one. Marijuana is a psychedelic drug, meaning it not only causes a feeling of relaxed euphoria, but the drug can also change one’s perception of reality, change the sensory experience of the world, and in some cases, even trigger hallucinations, paranoia, or psychosis. Long-term abuse of marijuana can lead to insomnia, cognitive problems, memory loss, and mood disorders, including anxiety and depression. Although marijuana is already a widely abused drug in the US, making it legal for recreational use might provide people even greater access to the substance, which may increase community problems around the nation.

AToN Center
Strengths:Professional, caring, very well-trained and experienced counselors, programs that are individual and meaningful, beautiful facility, excellent food, amazing staff, fun yet productive extracurricular events to help you experience what everyday life is going to be like when you get home. Weakness: I can honestly say that I did see any. First, I would like to share that I have been free of my demon for over a year now and feel amazing. I am certain this would not have been possible without the loving and professional care I received at AToN. The care that I received in both individual and group counseling is second to none. The counselors went above and beyond to ensure I received the kind of support I needed and still call me once a week to see how I am doing. I also had a choice of several different services and treatments each week. That may sound a little "vacation like," but they were extremely helpful in experiencing things that I could continue when I got home that would help my recovery. During my stay, I was given a choice, not just promised a choice, of meetings to attend. Unfortunately, AA does not fit me personally. I was able to attend SMART meetings as well as meditation that were helpful. The housing was truly beautiful and it helped me very much to be comfortable and feel secure while in recovery. The medical staff was wonderful, the resident aides were amazing, the food was off the charts. The owners really care and are an active part of AToN. I saw them on an almost daily basis and they were so kind and loving. From the moment I was picked up at the airport until the moment I went back home, and every moment in-between my stay was healing and a success. They did everything they could and more to set me on the best path to recovery. There are not enough gold stars for this amazing facility. I can't wait to go back as an alumni speaker!
Ocean Hills Recovery San Juan Capistrano
I got a new lease on life at Ocean Hills Recovery. I arrived broken, and the clients, under the watchful eyes of the staff, put me back together again. Who would have ever thought that a Napa Valley 'soccer mom' would owe her life to a bunch of 20 something heroin addicts? I love them as much as my own kids now!I will forever be grateful to OHR for everything I learned there. Especially who I really am!
Luxe Recovery
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.
