Addiction in San Bernardino
San Bernardino seems like a relatively small population compared to other California cities, like Los Angeles and San Diego, but actually has a huge number of people when compared to the other cities in its county. Unfortunately, large populations like that tend to see the brunt of a drug crisis when it starts forming. While the county itself has been comparatively lucky compared to other cities’ death-rates, there are still a vast number of prescription opioids dispersed across the county, and any one of them can be a ticking time-bomb.
Despite the numbers looking better than most of California, that has not stopped county officials from stepping up to take precautionary measures against more people becoming addicted to opioids. However, the local government also needs to recognize the how large their methamphetamine issue is.
The Fight Against Prescription Opioids in San Bernardino

Despite its low death-rate, however, the local government has put into place an organization to better oversee the growing opioid crisis. There are four different narcotic treatment programs that address opioid addiction across San Bernardino County. One of them, the Inland Empire Safe Opioid Prescribing Medical Task Force, is focused on addressing the addiction concerns from prescribers. Guidelines like limiting the number of prescribing physicians one can have and not prescribing drugs that have high potential for abuse, like OxyContin, fentanyl, and other long-acting opioids. While some hospitals have already signed up, they are trying to push it out to more across the county and state.
Despite these new procedures, there is still a huge number of opioids being prescribed across San Bernardino. There were 1,408,704 opioids prescribed in 2017. That comes out to 660 prescriptions for every 1,000 people.
