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).

Two staff members in particular, and the rest of the staff at Muir Wood were wonderful with my son. They were all very professional, caring, and could not have done a better job at helping my son. His time at Muir Wood was a life changing experience for our entire family. I\'ve recommended them to a close friend, and would highly do so for anyone reading this review.
I’m so glad I decided to come here. I’m from a very small town in Ohio where there is not a lot of great treatment centers and I’ve tried for the last 2 years to get clean. I needed to make a change. My friend went here and is still sober and totally a changed person. That’s what I needed so I made the decision to come here. I came here nervous and uncomfortable because I was so far away from home . Ara was the first person I met here and he was just so kind and very informative about their treatment program. I had no idea he was one of the guys that owned this place. I have never met an owner from any treatment center I’ve been to and for him to take his time out to come and get me and make me feel way more comfortable is just completely amazing and he is also not an addict. He is not did not once make me feel bad about being one you can just tell he really wants to help people change their lives . So I showed up to this beautiful house and it really just had this amazing vibe to it and I started feeling way better about the choice to come here. Every tech I have met is in recovery and are super inspiring and are always willing to talk if we need it and will go above and beyond to help you with a problem your facing. The therapist are really nice and want to truly help you. Everyone is super professional but also personal. They make you feel like we’re all family and they wanna see us be the best people we can be. I recommend anyone to come and experience something different then your old medical treatment centers that have to see 50 or more clients and really get that one on one personal time with yourself and your therapist it was a great experience and if God forbid I relapse I know I can come here with open arms and have no judgment towards me. I’m just happy I made it back alive this is a home away from home with the structure I always needed in my life thank you Luxe for helping me save my life.
It is a lifetime commitment. Once you stop working the program, you easily go back to your demons. Spiritual.

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.
