Nov. 12, 2025 – San Francisco Mayor Daniel Lurie unveiled a new plan to tackle the city’s drug crisis: a law enforcement sobering center to get people who are doing drugs off the streets and into treatment.This is happening after more than 600 people died from drug overdoses last year.
“Well, first let me say, we as a city were caught flat-footed by the fentanyl crisis. Since January, we are tackling this in new and innovative ways. We have neighborhood outreach teams. We’ve set up over 500 treatment and recovery beds. And this center is going to allow us a new tool,” Lurie said.
