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.











10 Acre Ranch is a truly amazing facility! They offer every level of care, meaning I got the same treatment team throughout my entire stay. From David who answered my call to the techs and therapist who helped me learn about my disease it was a great program that I highly recommend to anyone seeking treatment. The other thing I loved was their multiple tracks including a Christian program that is a true to form faith based program. From their housing to the food everything was amazing! Thank you 10 Acre Ranch!
I thoroughly enjoyed and learned a lot about myself at this facility. However, I felt as if the staff were very pushy when it came to making sure we went to every single class, meal, activity, etc when there were activities every hour on the hour. I would have appreciated some willingness to talk to me and engage about the reason or reasons as to why I wasn't going to groups. I guess, I felt smothered and no room to breathe. Michaels House was absolutly gorgeous with palm trees, flowers, rain falls attached to a pool, as well as a hottub. We had 3 meals that were made by a personal 5 star chef. We always ate as much as we pleased and that was awesome for me! I was very impressed with all the weekly activities they let us go on. I got to go to horse therapy up in the foggy mountains above Palm Springs. I was apart of many NA and AA meetings off site, gym was in between a group on site that started an hour before lunch time. I went hiking at Joshua meadows. Made a couple really nice friends, the staff were there for me, and overall I had a decent time there. I think the only weakness this specific facility had was they lacked the awareness to identify behavior that was or is worrisome from its patients. Everyday I wrote in a journal and I wrote every single day that I was relapsing the second I got out. I was playing along most the time. Also, I was okay when they transferred me from the detox house, to the womens facility, in fact I was comfortable enough to not worry about the stuff people would usually laugh at me about.
In its goals for improving public safety in Rosemead, the city encouraged the community to use its available resources to prevent gang activity. The Federal Bureau of Investigation reported that in 2010, an effort by federal and state law enforcement resulted in the arrest of eight people who had connections to a Rosemead street gang that was involved in meth trafficking. If you or someone you love needs recovery services, you may feel overwhelmed by the influence of drug trafficking and gangs. Look for a Rosemead drug treatment center that emphasizes coping strategies for dealing with the realities of drugs and gangs after you graduate from rehab.
