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.
I LOVE Action Family Bakersfield!!! I have been employed by Action for almost 4 years. All the staff is like a big family, working together to help people and families effected by addiction. The program directors are incredibly intelligent and insightful. The facility managers go above and beyond to keep clients comfortable and important. The chef is a gift to all who consume his food, he caters to each individual\'s likes and dislikes when shopping and prepares delicious home cooked meals 3 times a day. 5 days a week. The counsellors are amazing and genuinely care about each client\'s recovery. I know that I would still be clean and sober without Action, 4 1/2 years and counting!!! If I was no longer an employee, I would continue to recommend friends and family members because they treat you as if you are!
I love Milestones!!!!! I can't say it enough. It has truly changed my life. For once in my life I was able to work through some much needed issues in a safe, warm, and loving environment. They truly helped me to get down to the root causes of my addiction while providing the individualized support that I needed. They showed me nothing but love, compassion, understanding and support and made me feel safe. I learned so much. After attending milestones, I feel that I've finally made peace with my past, the world around me and they have truly prepared me and provided a guiding light for my future. They have helped me find my true self and prepared me for the new life that I have today. Milestones is truly a magical place. I will forever be grateful for Milestones!!!!
I had them reccomended to me from concerned friends and family. I was sceptical, but when all is said and done, the treatment was successful, and I have no regrets. Treated me like family from the minute I got there.
