Conditions and Issues Treated
Substance Abuse + Addiction Treatment
Substance abuse refers to the intensive and inappropriate use of psychoactive substances. These include illegal drugs, alcohol, and even the excessive use of prescription drugs. Overuse of these substances leads to severe physical or psychological dependence.
Substance abuse is treatable and the duration of treatment and most successful sobriety can require weeks or months of professional care at Sobriety Works in Santa Cruz.
Opioid + Opiate Addiction Treatment
Opioid addiction treatment facilities like Sobriety Works support people struggling with opioid dependency, which covers illegal and prescription opioids. People often abuse prescription opioids to get high instead of adhering to a medical provider’s directions. Addiction forces people to crave for opioids impulsively without factoring in the dangers these drugs bring to them.
Most opioid addiction treatment plans include detoxification and subsequent medications to ease the process. However, that’s only the beginning. Behavioral therapies and counseling are also necessary to resolve the root cause of addiction. This overall approach decreases the likelihood of falling off the wagon. In some instances, therapies can be done at home.
Dual-Diagnosis
An underlying cause often brings about addiction. Mental disorders can lie at the center, such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder or anxiety disorder. As well as the cause of the addiction, a dual diagnosis by Sobriety Works helps to treat the addiction. This ensures that after treatment is complete, the patient will not fall back on old practices.

Santa Cruz, California Addiction and Treatment
More than 3 million of California's citizens are addicted to illegal drugs. Almost 800,000 people use hard drugs, almost 5 million use marijuana, and another 2.1 million abuse alcohol every year. Other substance abuse issues such as binge drinking and teen drug use are also common. Many illegal drugs such as cocaine, heroin, methamphetamine, and marijuana are smuggled into the state from Mexico.
Santa Cruz, a laidback coastal city, offers stunning beaches, redwood hiking trails, and the iconic Beach Boardwalk. Despite its natural beauty, Santa Cruz County faces a growing opioid crisis, with fentanyl-related deaths doubling from 2019 to 2020. While methamphetamine overdoses decreased by half during the same period, the county's substance use statistics reveal a concerning rise in fentanyl overdoses compared to other California counties.
