Drug and alcohol abuse is prevalent all over America. Addiction is a mental health disorder, and those struggling with addiction require professional help to achieve sobriety. It’s not something that can be cured, but it can be treated and managed. Addiction can completely change a person’s brain chemistry.

California is a beautiful place to live in America, and Bakersfield is no exception. Bakersfield, California is known for its beautiful natural scenery and landscape, as well as its warm, sunny weather. However, much like the rest of America, addiction is quite prevalent here as well.

In 2018, opioids were involved in more than 45% of drug-related overdose deaths in California. However, residents here are not only struggling with opioid abuse. Alcohol, marijuana, cocaine, methamphetamine, heroin, and other substances are also commonly abused.

Those who are struggling with any form of chemical dependency should seek professional help immediately. Fortunately, there are quite a few different addiction treatment centers and facilities in this area that specialize in various addictions and offer different treatment modalities.
