Drug and Alcohol Rehabs in Montebello, CA

Montebello means beautiful mountain, and the city incorporated in 1920 on land that had been Rancho La Merced and Rancho Paso de Bartolo.

The Battle of Río San Gabriel was fought here in January 1847, one of the last engagements of the Mexican-American War in California, and a monument marks the crossing.

Oil was found in 1917 and the Montebello field became one of the more productive in the Los Angeles basin; a few wells still operate among the housing.

The city is now around four fifths Latino, with Whittier Boulevard as its commercial spine and the Montebello Town Center at its eastern end.

The 60 and 5 pass either side, with Pico Rivera east and Monterey Park north.

Los Angeles County recorded 2,298 accidental drug overdose and poisoning deaths in 2025, a 6 percent fall from the previous year and the third consecutive annual decline, according to the county Department of Public Health. Deaths are down nearly 30 percent from the 2022 peak of 3,220, driven by a more than 40 percent reduction in fentanyl-related deaths.

The county’s own analysis found fentanyl overdose death rates nearly four times higher in its least affluent areas — those where more than 30 percent of families live below the federal poverty level — than in its most affluent, at 39.1 against 10.0 per 100,000 in 2024.
