Rialto, California

Introduction to Rialto, California

Located in San Bernardino County, California, and situated below the San Bernardino mountains is the city of Rialto. Sixty miles to the west is the city of Los Angeles and 103 miles to the south is San Diego.

Rialto was incorporated as a city in 1911, but its roots trace back to well before the year 1500, which is when archaeologists believe the first Indian settlements took place. Much later, around the late 1800's, the area began to be settled by families whose primary pursuits were agriculture and ranching, with vineyards and citrus groves abundant in the region. Rialto continued to grow steadily, culminated by a huge population spike occurring between 1950-1980, when the population increased more than ten-fold. It is not completely clear how Rialto got its name. One theory is that the name was formed by a contraction of the Spanish words Rio (river) and Alto (high). Another story is that the city was named after the Rialto Bridge (a landmark of Venice, Italy). Regardless, the bridge has been retained as a community symbol known as the "Bridge of Progress".

Interesting Facts and Statistics:

Decreases in the rate of current use of a substance often occur when there are increases in the level of perceived risk of using that substance. Looking over the 7-year period, the proportion of teens aged 12 to 17 who reported perceiving great risk from smoking one or more packs of cigarettes per day increased from 63.1 percent in 2002 to 69.7 percent in 2008. During the same period, the rate of past month cigarette smoking among teens aged 12 to 17 dropped from 13.0 to 9.1 percent.

The kerosene is removed and gas crystals of crude cocaine are left at the bottom of the tank. Typically, the crystals are dissolved in methyl alcohol. They are then recrystallized and dissolved in sulfuric acid, which results in cocaine that is about 60% pure.

The perceived availability among teens decreased between 2002 and 2005 for marijuana (from 55.0 to 51.0 percent), crack (from 26.5 to 25.3 percent), heroin (from 15.8 to 14.0 percent), and LSD (from 19.4 to 15.7 percent). However, the percentage reporting that it would be easy to obtain cocaine showed no decline over this period (25.0 percent in 2002 and 24.9 percent in 2005).

Heroin craving can persist years after drug cessation, particularly upon exposure to triggers such as stress or people, places, and things associated with drug use.

The most common symptoms of amphetamines withdrawal are fatigue, long but troubled sleep, irritability, intense hunger, and moderate to severe depression, which may lead to suicidal behavior. Fits of violence may also occur. These disturbances can be temporarily reversed if amphetamines are taken again.

Rates of current cigarette use among adults aged 18 or older decreased among unemployed persons between 2002 and 2005; rates were 49.8 percent in 2002, 42.7 percent in 2003, 44.1 percent in 2004, and 43.8 percent in 2005.
