The city of South Gate, California, is just to the south of Los Angeles. It is home to just over 95,000 residents.1 Its proximity to Los Angeles gives residents of South Gate many opportunities, but it also puts them at risk of all kinds of substance abuse problems. Illicit synthetic drugs like bath salts are an increasing problem in Los Angeles County, including in South Gate.
Between 2009 and 2010, there were 923 drug-related deaths in Los Angeles County.2 Some leading causes of these deaths included opioids, alcohol, cocaine, and other stimulants.2 In LA County, drug overdose is the fourth leading cause of premature death, which is defined as death prior to the expected age.2
Some of these fatalities may be preventable with increased access to rehab and drug detox options. Detox programs can assist a person in withdrawing from drugs and alcohol and help them reach a drug-free, stabilized state. Once they’re stable, they are ready to enter a comprehensive addiction treatment program, where they will receive a combination of interventions, such as individual therapy, group counseling, family therapy, medication-assisted treatment (if applicable), and aftercare planning.
Finding an evidence-based detox and rehabilitation program is critical. Contact us today for help identifying local rehab options or to find the right treatment in a location of your choice.

We were looking for a tech-friendly treatment center for a good friend and we’re so happy we found Luxe Recovery. My friend is a busy executive and Luxe was able to accommodate. He’s since left their program and is doing very well. He always mentions to me how blessed he feels, I just want to say Thank you.
I cannot stress enough how fantastic this treatment program is and how much they helped me. The facilities are beautiful. The food is excellent with chefs who are very responsive to dietary needs or special requests. The Resident Assistants are wonderful and always willing to listen. Most importantly, the psychologists and counselors are amazing. With three group sessions and one individual session every day you get a great deal of time, without being overwhelmed, in counseling. With an option for programs like EMDR, you really get the opportunity to delve into deep issues, which is not something all programs provide. Furthermore, the holistic treatments really help you to relax during a very trying time. Overall, I cannot recommend AToN enough. They saved my family and my life. I would urge anyone looking for a treatment facility to give AToN a call and see if they fit your needs.
Laguna treatment center was a very good experience. Excellent staff and doctors
