Who Seeks Treatment From Santa Monica and West Los Angeles
Santa Monica and West LA have highly affluent, fitness-conscious, professional populations. Substance use often involves high-functioning alcohol dependence, benzodiazepine misuse, and prescription opioid dependence. Ketamine and MDMA use has grown in this demographic. The beach community can normalize alcohol use. Many Santa Monica residents have previously attempted outpatient treatment without success and need the structure of residential care to break established patterns.

Prescription opioid dependence and cannabis use disorder are also common. Fentanyl has reached Westside drug markets as well, particularly through counterfeit pills.
