Drug And Alcohol Addiction In Modesto, California
The city of Modesto is home to approximately 212,616 people in central California – 90 miles east of San Francisco and 70 miles south of Sacramento. Modesto, like most of California, has struggled with sharp increases in substance abuse and related crime in recent years. In 2020, Stanislaus County, where Modesto resides, had 132 deaths due to overdose. Of the 132 deaths, 78 were Opioid related. The most commonly abused substances in Modesto are Opioids, alcohol, Heroin, and Meth. Alcohol, in particular, is responsible for large numbers of drunk driving deaths and injury in the area. The county has higher rates of excessive drinking (17.5%) and driving deaths involving alcohol (27.7%) than most of California’s southern counties.
To help offset increasing numbers of prescription medication abuse, Stanislaus County has a prescription disposal program known as Drop The Drugs. This program has 5 locations across the state where individuals can dispose of expired, unused or unwanted prescription pills, liquid or over-the-counter medication. Proper disposal of prescription medications prevents drug abuse, accidental overdose, and environmental impacts. If an individual is struggling with substance abuse, fortunately, there are over 25 quality drug and alcohol rehab centers throughout California.
Meth Abuse And Crime
For the past few decades, Meth has remained a top issue in Modesto. The County’s Drug Enforcement Agency continues to focus on Meth and its related drug trafficking organizations. Because Meth damages the brain, decision-making abilities, and mood, crime is heavily linked to its use. Accordingly, Modesto has endured crime rates higher than state and national averages – often perpetrated by individuals with a substance use disorder (SUD) trying to sustain their addiction. Residents of Modesto have a 1 in 22 chance of being the victim of a property crime (compared to 1 in 39 for the state).
However, studies have shown that detox and addiction treatment programs can help people live substance-free lives. These programs have also reduced drug-related crime and rates of recidivism. If a resident’s addiction leads to criminal charges, Stanislaus County maintains a drug court as an alternative to jail for some defendants. For residents who think they’re unable to afford addiction treatment, the County offers a range of services and payment methods. Also, groups like Narcotics Anonymous and Crystal Meth Anonymous, in nearby Stockton, can provide support and help people with specific addictions recover.
