When it comes to the total number of drug overdose deaths in the state of California, Los Angeles County holds the number one slot. According to the CDC Wonder’s Compressed Mortality File (CMF), LA County lost 2,288 residents to drug overdose between 2014 and 2016.1 Alcohol, cocaine, heroin, prescription drugs, and combinations of substances including marijuana all played a role in this high death rate.
If thousands of people were dying in a single county every year due to any other cause, the headlines every day would be focused on what was being done to put a stop to the loss of life. However, because drug addiction and drug misuse are causing these deaths, stigma may be keeping it on the back burner as a topic of collective discussion only when there is no bigger news of the day.
Every article, every public discussion, every new vote changing laws that are related to addiction, every choice to treat families struggling with addiction fairly, and every individual’s voice and story help to fight that stigma in Arcadia, California. The ability to be a positive force of change can start by helping your family member get the help they need to overcome their addiction.
Don’t let stigma stop you from reaching out. Call now to speak with a recovery advisor who can assist you in better understanding the options in addiction treatment that are available to you and your family.

My experience with the Rize program has been nothing short of life changing! From the start I have received top tier support from the therapists, directors and facilitators. The level of authentic care and support I have received is unrivaled!
The facility and treatment offered is grand. All the clients' needs are met and highly structured on a day by day basis. The staff hold such a high dedication to granting clients structure, discipline, and a foundation. The meals are phenomenal, the groups are therapeutic, and the overall care overzealous in the ability of changing lives. Totally recommending it for detox and residential clients. The facility is strong in its staff communication, interaction with clients, following protocols, and groups. The facility is weak in space and room.
This company has gone through a lot of phases and changes and disgruntled ex clients and workers love to post hate reviews/personal smear vendettas all that. The current Archway is very chill and flexable to suit the individual. It\'s not harsh with \" You have to do this!\" etc. There are some wonderful people who really care and know what it is like. Wanda is a very calm, sweet lady who knows how to reason with people.
