While the crack cocaine epidemic that came to prominence in the 1980s has largely abated, cocaine remains a serious and pervasive problem in many communities. Many individuals who use cocaine do so recreationally, but some become addicted to it and experience significant health problems as a result of their substance misuse. For this reason, it’s important for addiction treatment centers like New Bridge Foundation® to offer a substance abuse treatment program in California that explicitly targets cocaine abuse.
New Bridge Foundation® provides affordable leading-edge substance use disorder treatment at our cocaine rehab center in the San Francisco Bay Area. With over 50 years of experience, we have been named one of America’s “Best Addiction Treatment Centers” for the past three years, per a survey conducted by Newsweek Magazine.
