Beacon ShoresEl Cajon, known as "The Big Box" due to its valley location surrounded by hills and mountains, is a diverse and resilient community in East County San Diego. Home to over 100,000 residents, this working-class city has faced its share of challenges when it comes to substance abuse and addiction. Like many communities throughout Southern California, El Cajon has been impacted by the opioid crisis, methamphetamine use, and alcohol dependency that affect individuals and families across all demographics.
