Communication was a strength of the facility but service takes awhile. I think it's a great facility despite the wait time.

Like other communities in Los Angeles County, Santa Clarita is often at the forefront of social trends.

Some of these trends are more disturbing than others -- like the growing need for Santa Clarita drug rehab among the city's young people. CBS Los Angeles reported that in 2010, police made over 100 arrests for crimes related to heroin, and between 2009 and 2011, there were nine heroin overdose deaths. About 400 Santa Clarita residents suffered non-fatal overdoses during that time frame, which means that they still have a chance for rehabilitation. A Guide to Going to Rehab

Heroin is one of the most addictive drugs available, regardless of your age, but the drug has become especially popular among young adults and teens.

The overwhelming cravings and intolerable side effects of heroin withdrawal drive many recovering addicts back to the drug, in spite of their best intentions. The more tools you have in your arsenal -- including counseling, behavioral modification and pharmaceutical therapy -- the better equipped you'll be to fight heroin.

When you're choosing a Santa Clarita drug treatment program for heroin addiction, look for a facility that offers medication therapy as well as psychosocial rehab services. Today, methadone is no longer the only pharmaceutical option for recovering heroin addicts. Suboxone, a combination of buprenorphine and naloxone, is a less potent alternative to methadone, with a lower abuse potential. Suboxone can help you avoid a relapse by fighting cravings, notes Drugs.com. The naloxone in Suboxone blocks the high of buprenorphine, an opiate agonist, if the user tries to inject the medication.

Benefits of Buprenorphine Therapy in Heroin Rehab

The Journal of the American Medical Association reports that relapse rates are reduced in young heroin addicts who take Suboxone as part of a drug rehabilitation program.

A clinical study shows that compared with youths who receive only medical detox with counseling, young adults who take buprenorphine:

Are half as likely to relapse
Are more likely to complete treatment
Are less likely to use other illegal drugs
Display less drug-using behavior
