Substance Abuse And Addiction: Substance Abuse And Addiction To Continue To Grow

Published November 2, 2011

A large loan from the United States Department of Agriculture will allow the fight against substance abuse and addiction to grow in California. A $ 9.3 million dollar loan will pay for four new buildings, totaling 33,000 square feet, dedicated to drug treatment, care and prevention.

The new facility will be called the Center of Hope. It will be the first comprehensive residential drug treatment center in western Nevada County. Construction of the new drug treatment center is slated to begin in the spring of next year and hopes to open in the spring of 2012.

The four buildings will provide continuity of care including intensive detoxification, residential treatment and after-care, said Community Recovery Resources Development Director Ariel King Lovett. Its an embodiment of CoRRs holistic philosophy of care with the family at the center.

According to King Lovett, one of the buildings at the Center of Hope will have the capacity to house up to 25 men, 15 women and ten of the children during rehabilitation. Another building at the drug treatment center will have the capacity for up to five of those peoples family members to come and stay with their loved ones for short breaks during rehabilitation.

The campus will have areas focused on transitioning residents to a life of self-sufficiency. The facility will also focus on prevention through education. The new buildings will mark a 250 percent increase in capacity for the group, which now can only accommodate eight women in treatment.

Our region demonstrates the highest need for treatment, King Lovett said.

A Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services study issued in 2009 indicated that Nevada County and its surrounding areas had the highest rate in the state of California for people needing but not receiving treatment for their drug and alcohol addiction. According to King Lovett, CoRR has been in the Nevada County area since 1974 and has grown to respond to the increased need for substance abuse treatment. There has been a measured increase of methamphetamine abuse in the region as well.

King Lovett said that the drug treatment centers revenue will be funneled to pay back the federal loan.

This is the first [loan] of its type theyve done. Theyre taking an unprecedented step in funding this kind of center.

Substance Abuse And Addiction: Drug Addiction (1951) Part 2 of 2

Marty, a “good boy,” experiments with marijuana and experiences “profound mental and emotional disturbances.” As in all anti-drug films of this vintage, marijuana leads straight to “H,” and Marty’s decline continues until he is busted, rehabbed and reformed. The scene where Marty and some of his stoned friends drink out of broken Pepsi bottles is memorable. As in all drug films, the marijuana sequences are the most entertaining. “Thoughtless curiosity can lead to a lifetime of pain and torment!” The street pushers in this film wear turtlenecks. Drug Addiction’s stilted view of the urban drug culture and unrealistic portrayals of stoned slackers make it entertaining viewing today. It belongs to that little-known “second wave” of anti-drug films, the postwar scare stories about middle-class kids overcome by junkiedom. What this wave of films reveals is that drugs were an issue for white adolescents long before the psychedelic Sixties, and that the official response to the threat expressed a general, not specifically targeted paranoia.
