California has a lot to be proud of. While some people might look at the proliferation of drug rehab clinics in the state as a bad thing, I prefer to look on the positive side. Choice is good, especially when it comes to drug or alcohol treatment. San Francisco is a beautiful city, but beneath the surface there is an active drug and alcohol culture. On average, police there make 13 drug related arrests and charge 10 people with DUI every day. Given these statistics (which are hardly unusual, by the way), I would argue it’s better that the issue isn’t simply ignored, but is addressed through the availability of alcohol treatment. San Jose is another example. An estimated 25 people die every month from the combined effects of drug and alcohol abuse and without treatment options, these numbers would certainly be higher.
