Answer by Stephanie K
To give you information like phone numbers I would have to know your city. If you go to www.samhsa.gov then you can look up substance abuse treatment facilities in California. I know to find it sometimes I have to go through the mental health treatment services first but there is a link for substance abuse treatment facilities. Good luck on this but remember that these places have a lot of privacy laws to follow.
