Marijuana legalization, huge border drug busts, and opioid overdose deaths resulting from fentanyl adulterated street heroin dominate the headlines in Arcadia, California. Meanwhile, the cost of alcohol abuse and addiction continues to stack up, diminishing community resources throughout LA County and hitting families in Arcadia hard. The County of Los Angeles Public Health Department reports that alcohol costs residents $10.3 billion annually due to lost productivity ($7.7 billion), healthcare costs ($976.7 million), and other costs like car accidents, property damage, and criminal justice ($1.6 billion).1
For the families of a loved one struggling with the effects of an alcohol use disorder, the costs are more personal and potentially more severe. When one person in the home has an addiction disorder, everyone will struggle as a result. Children may not get the care they need and/or are fearful and uncertain due to lack of stability. In some cases, domestic violence is a prevalent issue, and extreme medical conditions caused by alcohol use can be crippling. Financial issues may result as the cost of alcohol stacks up and so do the secondary costs of problematic drinking (e.g., legal fees, medical bills, and lost days at work or lost employment).

great group and personal treatment. from top to bottom it is well run and helpful to family. It saved my sons life. he has been to other rehab center but this was by far the best and i would highly recommend it. i found no weakness in its rehab. my son and my family are very grateful for the help we received. they not only help your addiction but the also look at what got you there and also help you prepare to go out in to the world and prepare you for issues that might come up and how to deal with them. I will forever be grateful for their help.
I spent 90 days at the light house after haven been in four other treatment centers before. By far light house has one of the best programs I have been to. The staff is bar none; specifically my counselor. She always had my best interest in mind, advocated for me, went above and beyond, and was well versed. She is one of the best counselors I have had the privilege of working with and was instrumental in my recovery and staying 90 days. My therapist was excellent in addressing all of my issues and was easy to work with. I can attest to the amazing program the light house offers and feel confident in my recovery as a direct result of the program. I would recommended it to any and everyone. The cooking was amazing. The cook cooked 5 star meals that never disappointed. One guy on the support staff, has a working knowledge of the big book and truly helps saving peoples lives. All of them, along with the footwork I have done are responsible for helping me become the man I am today. Life is up hill from here today, thank you the light house. I will never forget my past or where I once was.
My experience with Hollywood Hills Recovery has been beyond exceptional. The house itself is a safe haven in a picture-perfect setting, and the entire staff provided a welcoming and warm environment during such a vulnerable time in my life. This is the place to go for anyone seeking help with recovery!

If your son or daughter has a prescription drug addiction, get them the help they need. They have a bright future ahead of them and drugs will only limit their potential.
Questions to Answer Before Signing Up for Drug Detox
You may have questions about what your child can expect in rehab. Rehab will detoxify your child, removing all drugs from their body. Your child will go through withdrawal symptoms, which will be treated by the counselors at the facility. Depending on the program you choose, your child will also undergo counseling and behavioral therapies. They may also attend support groups. The rehab program may also introduce alternative treatments and coping skills so your child can survive on an outpatient basis without relapsing.
Teenage Drug Abuse
Drug addiction is not limited to adults. Many kids try drugs in their adolescent years due to peer pressure and become dependent on them.
