Addiction Treatment in Los Angeles
California has one of the highest concentrations of addiction treatment centers in the nation, many of which are located in Los Angeles or its surrounding neighborhoods. Given the city’s long history of substance abuse, it’s not surprising how many drug rehabs are located in LA.
Los Angeles may be the poster child for luxury rehabs, but the city is also home to holistic centers and affordable treatment options.
Every year, tens of thousands of people get treatment for drug and/or alcohol addiction in Los Angeles. In fact, there were approximately 280,000 admissions to substance abuse treatment centers in LA from 2004 to 2008. Nearly a quarter of those admissions were for meth addiction, followed by heroin addiction (about 20 percent) and alcohol addiction (about 19 percent).
Whether you’re a Los Angeles local or an out-of-towner, the City of Angels has an addiction treatment program to fit your needs. Please call us now for help finding a Los Angeles rehab.
Neighborhoods of Los Angeles
Los Angeles is a sprawling city made up of numerous neighborhoods and surrounding suburbs. While some of these areas are not technically part of the city of Los Angeles, they have quality rehabs that are merely a short drive from downtown.
Should I Travel Outside of LA for Treatment?
Although there are plenty of great rehabs in Los Angeles, traveling to another city for treatment is sometimes the best option. Some people may simply need to get away from the people, places and things that trigger their desire to use. Others may find the stress of living in a fast-paced environment like LA has contributed to their addiction. Finding a rehab in a slower, more relaxed location may help them heal more efficiently.

Drug Abuse in Los Angeles
As is true of many major cities in the U.S., substance abuse has been a common struggle in Los Angeles for decades. The city’s proximity to the Mexican border may be in part to blame, as it makes LA a prime location for Central and South American drug traffickers to transport and distribute illicit substances.
The crack cocaine epidemic that swept the nation in the 1980s destroyed countless lives and families across the U.S. The epidemic is believed to have originated in South Central Los Angeles, where imported Colombian cocaine was converted to crack and sold in impoverished, black communities. Evidence of the drug’s destruction is still apparent in those communities today.
In low-income neighborhoods of South Los Angeles, the enduring lure of the cheap, potent drug ‘has changed the architecture of the community,’ in the words of Los Angeles Police Department Assistant Chief Earl Paysinger. The crack epidemic rolled through some lives like a wildfire and burned slowly through others over years. Crack steered fathers to jail, lured mothers into the streets and left children to raise themselves in neighborhoods bristling with despair and anger. Their families and communities were left scorched and in many cases, still smoldering.
Crack cocaine is not the only illicit drug that plagues the City of Angels. According to a 2011 report by the National Drug Intelligence Center, Los Angeles’ high intensity drug trafficking area (HIDTA) is increasingly being used to transit and sell methamphetamine from Mexico. The report also noted there’s been an increase in local production of marijuana.
The increase in the availability of both meth and marijuana correlate to the recent increase in addiction treatment admissions for both drugs. In the first half of 2013, nearly 19 percent of treatment admissions were for methamphetamine and more than 27 percent were for marijuana—more than half of these marijuana admissions were people under the age of 18. Heroin abuse is also a problem in LA, with more than 4,000 treatment admissions for the drug from January to June 2013.
