Drug & Alcohol Crisis in California
Drug & Alcohol Addiction
Treatment in California
California has the largest number of overdose deaths nationally due to its population size. Fentanyl mixed with methamphetamine is driving recent increases.
California recorded an age-adjusted drug overdose death rate of 27.9 deaths per 100,000 people in 2023 — a rate that has increased compared to the prior year. The leading substances driving this crisis are fentanyl, methamphetamine, and heroin.
According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), addiction is a chronic, treatable medical condition. Evidence-based treatments including MAT, CBT, and residential care have proven effective for California residents. Our free helpline connects callers with accredited programs around the clock.

California has expanded Medicaid — low-income adults can qualify for Medi-Cal coverage for addiction treatment including detox, inpatient, outpatient, and MAT at little or no cost. Call (844) 561-0606 and we will verify your eligibility for free.
