Finding Folsom Recovery Centers
Folsom California is possibly best known from the popular song
Folsom Prison Blues, recorded by the late country-western singer Johnny Cash in 1955. However, though the community is home to Folsom State Prison, the major employer in town is Intel, a computer hardware company that provides nearly
three times as many jobs. Median incomes are one-third higher than in the rest of California, while the cost of living is slightly below the national average.
One disturbing statistic for Sacramento County, in which Folsom is located, is a
sharp increase in alcohol- and drug-related deaths in recent years. This is the most serious consequence of alcoholism and drug abuse, but it is not the only one.
Substance abuse can destroy not only the addict's life, but the lives of people around them.
It's important to get help before it's too late.
What You Need to Ask Before Enrolling in Rehab Treatment
When you decide it's time to deal with your addiction, you will need to find a rehab program that will best meet your specific needs.
Questions to ask before enrolling:
- Is the program accredited?
- Are staff members licensed and credentialed?
- Are detox services available?
- Is psychological treatment available? (Addiction is often rooted in undiagnosed mental disorders.)
- Is there a 12-step program or something similar I can participate in?
- What is the program's success rate?
- What kind of post-treatment support is offered?
Binge Drinking
"Binge drinking" is defined as drinking large amounts of alcohol on occasion with the goal of becoming intoxicated. Not everyone who engages in this behavior is - or becomes - an alcoholic, but it is a slippery slope that can easily lead to a serious substance abuse problem.
