Morgan Hill, California Drug Rehab Programs

*Why Is Alcohol Abuse High Among Farmers?

• The job is highly laborious.
• They work long hours.
• They spend a lot of time alone.
• They face stress connected to the weather and the state of their crop.

Not all farmers are victims of alcoholism, but the above factors do play a role in those who are.

There are pros and cons to both residential and outpatient programs for those in the agricultural industry. The positive features of each option are outlined below.

Pros of outpatient programs:

• Farmers can continue to meet their job responsibilities, as they are able to continue residing in their home environment.
• Outpatient recovery program programs offer flexibility, so time can be made for family and friends, in addition to work.
• The costs are lower, which may be important to farmers in their off season.

Pros of residential programs:

• Alcoholics are removed from the temptations and triggers produced by the environment.
• There is support available from individuals who have similarly demanding careers.

Both residential and outpatient treatment programs are available to residents of Morgan Hill. To determine which option is more suitable for your situation, contact us.
