Top Redlands, Addiction Recovery Centers: Reviews and Ratings

Although Redlands, California, may seem like an idyllic small town or suburb, the adolescents in this area struggle with drug and alcohol abuse.¹

In San Bernardino County, 7.9 out of every 1,000 teens is arrested. In many cases, they are arrested for abusing alcohol or drugs while underage, or possessing illicit substances like marijuana, heroin, or cocaine.² Binge drinking is predominantly a problem among young adults, ages 18 to 34, in much of the country; in San Bernardino County, 42% of the county’s high school juniors report using alcohol or another drug in the past month before being surveyed, further illustrating that the county has very problematic rates of adolescent substance abuse. One in four kids in this age group report binge drinking in the past month, slightly higher rates than California’s average of 22% of all 11^th grade students.³

Abusing drugs and alcohol is one of the most dangerous behaviors a young person can engage in. Brains continue to develop well beyond the teen years, so adolescents and young adults who drink too much, smoke, or abuse illicit or prescription drugs may be at risk of impacting their brain development in ways that may not be reversible—for instance, they could potentially decrease their ability to learn or remember information, or they could worsen an underlying mood disorder.
