Addiction has a negative impact on far more individuals than just the ones BHS serves in its programs. Neighborhoods become riddled with crime, hospitals and jails grow overcrowded, and most importantly, addiction destroys the family unit, or sometimes keeps one from being formed at all.
BHS programming attempts to address these issues and problems related to substance abuse, mental health, related stigma, health disparities, homelessness, and helping the elderly stay in their homes. Services include drug free transitional housing, older adult services, HIV/AIDS and tobacco education, gambling treatment, and other health-related services to the residents of Southern California.
