Expert Insights
One of the biggest problems California and Santa Clarita face currently is the drug overdose epidemic.
In fact, California has been among the worst states in the nation for addiction, and the rise of fentanyl secretly being combined with other drugs has been a recipe for disaster. But an unexpected result of this deadly trend is the growing problem of teen suicide and the connection it undoubtedly has with addiction. Suicide is also one of the largest causes of death among people who abuse drugs. and where there are high rates of drug abuse, there are also high rates of suicide and suicidal ideation.
Unfortunately this has become a problem among California youth more so than adults. I believe we have to take drastic actions in order to put an end to the rising numbers of youth who abuse drugs and, as a result, either attempt or succeed in committing suicide. This is a trend we cannot allow to continue.
