Drug and Alcohol Rehabs in Seaside, CA

Seaside sits on Monterey Bay between Monterey and Marina, on the dunes north of the peninsula.

The town grew alongside Fort Ord and became the most racially diverse community on the peninsula as Black and Latino soldiers settled here after the war, at a time when much of the surrounding area was closed to them.

The base closed in 1994 and California State University Monterey Bay opened on part of the site the following year. Fort Ord National Monument covers much of the old training ground.

Highway 1 runs the coast, putting Monterey around five minutes south and Salinas twenty minutes inland.

California recorded a drug overdose death rate roughly 6 percent below the national figure in 2024.

Methamphetamine was involved in around 57 percent of California overdose deaths that year, more than any other substance, while fentanyl drives the opioid share.

County rates in 2024 ranged from 11.3 per 100,000 in Napa County to 91.5 in Lake County, both in Northern California.

Monterey County participates in the Drug Medi-Cal Organized Delivery System, live since July 2018, which covers a full continuum of care assessed against American Society of Addiction Medicine criteria.
