Eureka may be a charming town now, but it has a long and bloody history, especially in relation with its Native American residents. The town was founded in 1850 and really began with Fort Humboldt in 1853 (which can now be visited, as it is a park). Uprisings by the local Native Americans occurred in this town several times in the mid-1800s, and the Native American women living here were once ruthlessly massacred in 1860. Even the beautiful redwood trees were taken advantage of. Indeed, Eureka serves as a sobering reminder of history, and also has some residents addicted to meth.
Eureka is an absolutely wonderful place to spend some time in an inpatient treatment facility. Meth addictions are so intense that this is often the best (if not the only) way to go for starting to get better. Inpatient facilities keep the entire environment controlled, but in a way that does not smother the patient or make them feel trapped -- it simply means they will not be tempted by drugs at all.
Inpatient treatment includes therapy sessions, medication for detoxing, group counseling, and other tools to help heal the patient.
