County set to expand detox services to address drug use in region
San Diego County supervisors Paloma Aguirre and Monica Montgomery Steppe have proposed an expansion of residential withdrawal management, commonly known as detox services.
At a press conference earlier this month, they discussed the new treatment beds that will be added in the region. This initiative aims to combat homelessness and substance use for county residents.
“Homelessness and substance abuse disorder continue to be among the biggest challenges facing San Diego County,” Aguirre said. “Every night an estimated 10,000 people sleep unsheltered, and in the past year alone, 293 lives were lost from drug- or alcohol-related causes.
“These numbers represent real people and a system that needs to do better. We have a chance to change that. To build a system that saves lives instead of losing them.”
In District 1, only two withdrawal management beds are available to residents, a number that Aguirre said is far too low to accommodate the community.
“That leaves many waiting in the emergency room or struggling in the streets without support,” she said. “This isn’t about a lack of compassion, it’s about the need for urgency.”
Aguirre announced that 44 new treatment beds are being added downtown, which is enough to help 2,700 people each year to take the first step toward recovery, stability and housing.
Montgomery Steppe, who represents District 4, said that downtown and central San Diego are home to the most people experiencing homelessness while being impacted by drug use.
She hopes that with the increase in the number of withdrawal management beds, those who need help will be able to obtain it faster and more efficiently.
“Addiction doesn’t stop at district boundaries; it’s a countywide challenge that demands resources where the need is greatest,” Montgomery Steppe said. “Every day, San Diegans struggling with substance use disorder are reaching out for help, and too often they are being told there are no beds available for them.”

Shane van Gisbergen earned his sixth career pole and second of the 2026 season on Saturday, rocketing to pole position around NASCAR’s all-new 3.4-mile street course at Naval Base Coronado. He even touched the wall twice on his fast lap, pushing to the absolute limit.
“A little bit (surprised),” said Van Gisbergen, who went out with the first group of qualifiers. “I thought the track would be better, and I thought people would execute a bit better. As I said, it’s just so difficult. There’s three or four corners you’re seeing for the first time of the day, and it’s on your heater. Amazing. The Red Bull Chevy is really good. Thank you to Trackhouse for doing a great job from yesterday, and we just need to get the driver a bit better,” he concluded with a smile.”

Van Gisbergen bested Carson Hocevar by 0.0156s with a fast lap of 2:14.788s. Ryan Blaney will start third, Zane Smith fourth, and Todd Gilliland fifth. Blaney was a little bit quicker than SVG for most of his lap, but lost it through the final set of corners.
Daniel Suarez, Ryan Preece, Connor Zilisch, Michael McDowell, and Austin Hill will out the remainder of the top ten on the starting grid.
Project 91 driver Kevin Magnussen qualified 21st for his NASCAR Cup debut. Notably, championship leader Tyler Reddick spun out, but still reached 17th on the grid. Denny Hamlin is just 19 points behind him, and will start 26th.

Some other notable drivers very deep in the field include William Byron in 27th, Chase Elliott 30th, and an injured Christopher Bell 37th. He will have Brent Crews on standby, and may finish the race for Bell on Sunday.
Jimmie Johnson was the first driver to set a time, and showed just how tricky things were as he had to use the runoff area in Turn 2 to avoid an incident. Erik Jones also smacked the wall at the exit of Turn 16, but there were no red flags during the session.
