Drug & Alcohol Rehab Centers near Santa Monica, CA
Santa Monica is a small city on the water, just west of Los Angeles, California. This area is home to about 92,000 residents.1 Santa Monica’s proximity to the much larger metropolitan area means that several drug problems spill over into the beachside city, including abuse of hallucinogenic drugs, such as LSD.
D-lysergic acid diethylamide, or LSD, is a synthetic hallucinogen that is derived from a fungus that grows on various grains. The powerful effects of this substance last for as long as 12 hours and can cause hallucinations, delusions, other changes to sensory experiences, and mood swings. The drug can also increase heart rate, body temperature, physical tremors, and high blood pressure, all of which can be dangerous. The changes in how the brain processes reality, combined with a loss of physical coordination, can cause a serious accident.2
In the spring of 2017, a 15-year-old high school student abused LSD and died after falling off an apartment building in Santa Monica.3 According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), 1.3% of 8th graders, 3% of 10th graders, and 5% of 12th graders had ever tried LSD in 2017.4 Abusing drugs at any time is harmful and can lead to problematic patterns of substance abuse and addiction.

Ranch Creek Recovery
Checking myself into Ranch Creek Recovery was the best decision I made. Not only did they address the addiction but the deeper reasons for the addiction. The facility is gorgeous and set in a private and serene area. I stayed close to 60 days and I was sad to leave. The staff is incredible and they have the BEST Dr. on staff. If I had a choice to go back for a few days just to be there, I would. I am healthy now and I am in mid-recovery. The IOP program is also excellent. I hope to always stay connected to RCR because the staff became family to me. They genuinely care and I would HIGHLY recommend RCR to anyone!!
Ocean Recovery
This place helped me so much and I am happy to say that it helped me attain over a year of sobriety so far and helped me obtain the tools to be on my own now that I have moved on and have a place of my own. MOST of the staff there are great, they are kind, caring, and want to see you grow. Unfortunately, towards the end of my staff at their Sober Living, one of the co-owners of the company began to bring in patients into the sober living house that were NOT there for substance abuse, rather they were getting treatment for severe behavior and mental disorders. Then 11 months into my stay, I was told that I was "so ready to move on and I needed to find a my own place to live as letting me stay any longer would be enabling me." This was told to me about an hour after my parents were charged $2,000 to prepay for the next month of rent (how convenient right?). In addition, during the last month of my stay I began to be told that I would now have to see additional therapists and pay for the therapy out of pocket at $100 per hour. When I expressed that the therapy had always been covered by insurance, I was told that I was ungrateful and I was kicked out after being at the facility for 11 months and 3 weeks. A couple months later, information came out that the before mentioned co-owner of Ocean Recovery. So in conclusion the facility is very nice, you get to do your own cooking and are given $80 in grocery gift cards as well as$75 in petty cash per week. Unfortunately, you never know the motives of the people running these places, and it sounds like some people on the financial side of things. It really is sad.
Veterans Village of San Diego - Veterans Treatment Center
The staff are very involved in my treatment and help me to work a recovery program that makes it possible for me to be responsible again and I feel better than I ever have. I came from North Carolina because I was dying of alcoholism and my family made arrangements for me to come to VVSD. I had to use a walker because I was so physically ill. I've been sober six months and I worked the steps and I didn't think I would survive or live as happy as I am today. I don't have to use a walker today. I'm healthy and I have friends and I go out to meetings and will maybe have a job soon and be able to go back home with my family.

Tips on Enrolling Into a Treatment ProgramAccording to an article published in the L.A. Times, about 11 percent of the population of Santa Monica smokes cigarettes. If you're addicted to any other substance, even if that other substance is nicotine, it's best to disclose that when you're in the enrollment process, so your therapists can come up with a plan to address all of the addiction issues you're facing.
Some facilities offer detox services, providing you with support while your body adjusts to a lack of access to drugs. Other facilities will require you to go through detox before you arrive. This is a good topic to discuss before you enroll.
