The small city of Redlands, California, has just over 70,000 residents, making it one of the larger suburban areas in San Bernardino County.1 Like larger cities nearby, people who live in Redlands struggle with substance abuse problems, especially alcohol abuse.
Although the rates of self-reported “excessive drinking” in San Bernardino County are lower than many other nearby counties at 16.3% compared to 18% or higher in Orange, Los Angeles, and other counties, more than 28% of fatal car accidents in the county involve a drunk driver.1 About 12% of other serious collisions in San Bernardino involve a drunk driver compared to 11% across the state.2
More people in the county are seeking treatment for substance abuse, especially alcohol use disorder. In 2013-2014, all drug and alcohol treatment admissions rose 10%, and alcohol-specific treatment admissions rose 29%. This could indicate a greater awareness that rehabilitation helps, or it could indicate more people in San Bernardino County struggle with problem drinking. Among adolescents, almost 75% reported knowing that binge drinking is harmful, while 25% did not know it was a dangerous practice, so there may still be some ways to go with prevention and education programs in Redlands and surrounding cities.2

Counseling, and a personal one on one initial therapy and program were strengths. However, there was lots of paperwork. This was an experience of a close loved one, who was satisfied with the treatment, and he's doing well so far, after 3 years.
Benchmark transitions helped us through a very tough period in our life when our child was out of control due to Marijuana use and undiagnosed Bipolar disorder. This is a place about families helping families. The place is born out of a mother's love, desperation and dedication to her children and other children when all else must have seemed like a nightmare to her due to the loss of her husband in terrible circumstances. My first point of contact was with one of the daughters who continue their family legacy and is one of the siblings managing the place. She stayed on the phone with me through one of the darkest days of my life and kept me going until my child relented and agreed to go into rehab. The whole team at Benchmark are loving, dedicated, and beautiful individuals . Thank you. Much thanks to my child's team and many other wonderful people who helped us through five months of trials and tribulations. I am a mom and also a professional in the same field and I would recommend Benchmark to parents who feel there may be no where else to turn. Bench marks is not cheap but they may work with some insurances if you are in network. I am willing to talk other parents who are in the same situation....leave a remark with your contact or contact Benchmark and ask for my contact from Case manager.
While all forms of substance abuse share certain things in common, it's important to choose a treatment program staffed by people with experience in dealing with your particular issue. An alcohol treatment program will be different from one that focuses on narcotics or behavioral addictions.

It's also a good idea to ask about continuing support once you have completed the program. While detox has a high success rate when it comes to mastering physical cravings, most people must deal with psychological dependence throughout their lives.
*Not All Addictions Are Chemical
Some of the most destructive forms of "substance abuse" do not involve substances at all. Certain compulsive behaviors can have the same effects on the brain - and they can have similar consequences. One of the most common and serious behavioral addiction is compulsive gambling. If you find yourself doing this in secret, lying to family and friends and/or spending rent and food money on gambling, it's time to get help.
