In Los Angeles County between 2010 and 2012, the County of Los Angeles Public Health reports that 23% of adults engaged in binge drinking in the month prior.1 Additionally, 34.4% of young adults between the ages of 18 and 25 reported past-month binge drinking.1
These are sobering statistics. Families in Rosemead, California, can be hit hard by chronic drinking and binge drinking, and the costs of alcoholism are high—paid for in lost employment, lost health, and loss of life.
The good news is that the Los Angeles County Participant Reporting System data found that, from 2005 to 2013, about 15,000 people on average sought treatment for their problem drinking in L.A. County.1 This means that not only are you far from alone in this process of addiction and recovery, but there is a path forward to a life that is not defined by the instability that comes with drinking.
Whether you struggle with alcohol abuse, opioid addiction, or problems controlling your use of other drugs, there are a number of different types and styles of treatment that may be appropriate. Begin your search to find the right program based on your unique needs and goals for recovery.
