It can be difficult to moderate alcohol intake in a culture that validates and, in some instances, even glorifies heavy drinking. People living in Hacienda Heights, California, and other parts of Los Angeles County, may feel like heavy alcohol use is all around them. Data collected by the county’s public health department in 2011 found that 23% of adults reported binge drinking in the past 30 days, with Latino men having the highest rate of binge drinking of any population group in the county at 27%.1
Some people who have an alcohol use disorder may not even realize they have a problem because their drinking doesn’t seem that different than that of their friends and family, or what they see on TV. They may also be reluctant to receive treatment for their alcohol use, based on the fear that they will no longer be able to socialize with friends and family. Alcohol rehab is the best place from people to learn how to identify the situations that trigger heavy alcohol use and respond to those situations without relapsing. Rehab patients learn how to decline drinks in social situations and come to understand that they cannot drink the way that other people do.
Alcohol is not the only addictive substance treated in addiction rehab. People who abuse prescription painkillers, methamphetamine, heroin, or cocaine must all learn to form a new identity without their drug of choice.
Sobriety requires some lifestyle changes. While no one is expected to give up their family members, friends, or coworkers, it is important to learn how to stand on your own two feet in recovery no matter what the temptation may be. If you’re a Hacienda Heights resident ready to get started in recovery, the rehab centers in this directory are a great place to start.











Strengths:Professional, caring, very well-trained and experienced counselors, programs that are individual and meaningful, beautiful facility, excellent food, amazing staff, fun yet productive extracurricular events to help you experience what everyday life is going to be like when you get home. Weakness: I can honestly say that I did see any. First, I would like to share that I have been free of my demon for over a year now and feel amazing. I am certain this would not have been possible without the loving and professional care I received at AToN. The care that I received in both individual and group counseling is second to none. The counselors went above and beyond to ensure I received the kind of support I needed and still call me once a week to see how I am doing. I also had a choice of several different services and treatments each week. That may sound a little "vacation like," but they were extremely helpful in experiencing things that I could continue when I got home that would help my recovery. During my stay, I was given a choice, not just promised a choice, of meetings to attend. Unfortunately, AA does not fit me personally. I was able to attend SMART meetings as well as meditation that were helpful. The housing was truly beautiful and it helped me very much to be comfortable and feel secure while in recovery. The medical staff was wonderful, the resident aides were amazing, the food was off the charts. The owners really care and are an active part of AToN. I saw them on an almost daily basis and they were so kind and loving. From the moment I was picked up at the airport until the moment I went back home, and every moment in-between my stay was healing and a success. They did everything they could and more to set me on the best path to recovery. There are not enough gold stars for this amazing facility. I can't wait to go back as an alumni speaker!
Without the help and guidance from Banyan I wouldn’t have survived my addiction. They started my process of recovery and have been in my corner ever since. Through the alumni program I stay in contact with Teddy who goes above and beyond!
Effective treatment. It's safe and secure. There are many types of treatment activities. Costly. I thought Betty Ford center had a very thorough treatment program. The staff was wonderful. They have nicotine support and fitness training which is nice. Overall I'm very happy with how effective the treatment program was.
