Expert Insights
The use of fentanyl has skyrocketed in Glendale, with younger and younger people impacted by this deadly drug. I read in the news just last month that a 15-year-old tested positive for fentanyl in a drug test.
It’s happening right in our backyard and unless we wake up to that reality, I think it will be too late. That’s why I support law enforcement’s recent campaigns, sharing details of their drug busts on billboards. This information needs to be front and center to show everyone that these drugs will affect anyone and everyone. Drug use is not what we think it is – it isn’t limited to the stereotype of homeless people using drugs, our housed kids are taking drugs in school.
What’s worrying is that so many street drugs are laced with fentanyl and they’re unknowingly taking deadly amounts of the substance. In my opinion we need to do more than the billboard campaigns, we need to be providing drug testing kits in schools and providing better education about the dangers of fentanyl before it’s too late.

How Expensive is Drug Rehab in Glendale?
Your rehabilitation costs will vary greatly, depending on what type of services you need and for how long. If you’re planning to enter a residential treatment facility, your costs will be higher simply because of the cost of your room and meals. The presence of luxury amenities will also drive up the cost of care.
On the other hand, outpatient programs generally cost significantly less, as the level of care is also much lower. Read on to learn all about the financial aspect of Glendale drug rehabs.
