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.

My daughter is receiving treatment here for 3 months now. I am so grateful for their services and the attentive staff. Although still early; she is in the right path to a great life.
The best detox rehab I've ever been to and I've been to quite a few different ones and this one is my favorite nice house nice people and good food.
Connection, community, love, care, intelligence, understanding people. Never experienced anything I didn't think was effective. Nothing comes to mind when I think of weakness. I have to start with just beautiful. Tree House picked me up and showed me life again, the true meaning of life. We each have a different understanding of that but because of the work we put it on ourselves I was able to shape my life the way I wanted and everyday I wake up with understanding and STILL in awe that's it's true. The life I live is beautiful today and the depth of what we learn in Tree House is what helped me get there. The emotion behind my words are powerful, this is where change is.. Tree House saved my life and Its unique. I'd recommend it to anyone who wanted full transformation and a new beginning.

Many in recovery report that their first use of their prescription drug of choice did not come when they were given a prescription by a doctor but when they experimented with pills that were leftover from someone else's prescription.
