Notable Events Related to Drug Use in Oakland, CA
In May of 2022, Alameda County Sheriff's Office detectives busted drug dealers who were allegedly operating out of an Oakland high school parking lot. Four people were arrested, and the police seized 15 pounds of fentanyl. In addition, they also seized one kilogram of heroin and $139,000 in cash.
While detectives do not believe the dealers were selling to school children, they allege that they were using the hecticness of student drop-offs to blend in. They believe the drug transport was part of an organized network and that they arrived in Oakland before being sent on to San Francisco.
Community Efforts to Address Drug Problems in Oakland
A Public Health Institute in Oakland called CA Bridge aims to change the way addiction is treated by providing training, technical assistance, and coaching to hospitals in hopes of helping them step up their role in solving the area's overdose crisis. The organization advocates for evidence-based medications for addiction treatment (MAT), primarily buprenorphine. It also focused on reducing barriers to treatment and increasing access to harm-reduction initiatives. The ultimate goal of CA Bridge is to ensure patients can get the treatment they need at any area hospital, whenever they need it.
Employment-Related Drug Testing
Employers must comply with state and federal regulations when conducting drug testing in Oakland, California, and the rest of the state. While California workplace drug testing laws permit businesses to conduct drug testing under certain circumstances, there are strict guidelines on how and when these tests can be carried out.
Employers should be especially aware of a new California law (AB 2188), which took effect on January 1, 2024, that prohibits companies from discriminating against job applicants and workers for off-duty, off-site cannabis use.
