I just read an article on two drug rehab recovery homes being sued by the city of Newport Beach, California. According to the article, the city council enacted a temporary suspension earlier this year that prevented all Newport Beach, California drug rehab recovery homes from opening or expanding into the area.

The suspension was due to complaints from residents in the area who were demanding stricter regulations on drug rehab recovery homes, accusing them of excessive noise, loitering and littering.

The owners say that the accusations are exaggerated, and that the problems stem from other, short term residences in the area.

What many of the neighbors probably don’t realize is that without these recovery homes – interim housing where recovering addicts can live a sober life before going back to their home environment – there is much less chance of addicts actually staying off drugs after drug rehab. This leads to possible relapse and more addicts becoming a problem in their area as well as for society in general.

This, in turn, would lead to more crime, more accidents and more deaths that could have been prevented if the former addicts had had the backup and support of after-drug rehab recovery homes.

If the city council doesn’t lift the ban on drug rehab recovery facilities soon, the problems in Newport Beach could be far worse than noise, loitering and littering.
