Vallejo, CA

Addiction Treatment Center in Vallejo, CA

Referred to as the "œHeart of the Bay" Hayward, California it is the center of the Alameda County which is just a scant 25 miles southeast of San Francisco. There is an extensive expanse of freeways and public transportation. Hayward boasts of two BART stations, one Amtrak station and the Hayward Executive Airport.

This beautiful city could not have been what it is today if not for the Mexican Governor Manuel Michaeltoreño . He awarded this piece of land to Guillermo Castro in reward for his past military feats and civil service in 1843. At the time is was called "œEl Rancho San Lorenzo" and was 27,000 acres. This included the flatlands, hills and canyons that now make up Hayward and Castro Valley.

In recent history, something sinister has made these places unsavory. Methamphetamine ICE has ravaged the residents of Alameda County behind the scenes, and law enforcement has done everything in its power to stop the distribution of such a harmful drug.

What If Know Someone Who Is Addicted?

Many addicts do not come to the surface for help because they feel their loved ones will not understand what they are going through. Telling an addict over and over again that you care might not be enough. Holding an intervention where all of their family and friends gather to show support might be the wake up call your loved one needs.

The main goal of an intervention is to get an addict to realize that they need to go to rehab. It may sound easy, but sometimes it can be hard. If the first intervention does not work, do not give up. Sometimes it takes more than one. Make sure to gather friends and family members for a practice run. At this point those who will be attending the intervention can prepare what they are going to say to the addict in the real gathering. Ask everyone to prepare a written statement of specific examples of how the addict's actions have hurt everyone because of drugs and alcohol.

Do not gather everyone to gang up on the addict. If he or she feels they are being attacked, then they will not agree to get the help they need. Addicts and alcoholics need to know that people care about them and are willing to try to understand what they are going through.

Do not feel abandoned after your rehab program is complete. There are plenty of ways to stay involved in group support. Attending AA and NA meetings through the 12-Step Community are a great way to build relationships with people who have been down a similar path as you. Having people who can relate to you can make it easier for you to know that sobriety is possible and that you have people willing to help you in any way they can. Reaching out to newer members and helping them work through their steps can also be a good way to keep the ways of sobriety fresh in your mind.
