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 cannot say enough wonderful things about Asana. I googled ‘best detox facilities’ and Asana stood out as one that caters to you as a unique individual and not just the cookie cutter institutional facility so I braved it and gave them a call. I was immediately connected to Kelsey who helped me coordinate everything for my trip within an hour to start my treatment. It was my first time in a detox and I had no idea what to expect and was extremely nervous about taking the first step. Kelsey told me someone will pick me up from the airport which was wonderful, Angel picked me up at the airport and immediately asked if I was hungry or thirsty and offered to take me to get something to eat. He could not have been kinder and more welcoming. He took me straight to the house and I was met with Morgan who helped me do all the paperwork that first night and made me feel so comfortable through a very stressful day, she helped me get settled and made sure I knew I could come to her for anything and everything. From the techs to the nurses they made me feel like I was their only client and not once did they not listen to what I needed to say. They checked in on me often and never pushed me to take anything or do anything I was uncomfortable with. They all went out of their way to genuinely talk to me and share their story and wisdom to help me through my recovery. I always felt safe and most of the time did not feel patient/client, I felt like I was at a second home with a lot of caring friends. They made being sober easy, I never laughed as much as I did and never was I able to share so honestly and openly what my issues were. One of the staff members (Angel) in an effort to make me comfortable went out and even bought me all the ingredients to make Vietnamese soup on his day off (which took half a day), he knew I loved to cook and it gave me a piece of home when I was so homesick. I was and still am so grateful. Thank you (In no particular order and I’m sure I’m missing someone) Shaina, Morgan, Angel, Ken, Scott, Mike, Kelsey, Mark, Adam, Chris, Meg, Jodi, Brian, David, John, and everyone else that was there through my stay. I can sincerely say without them I would not have been able to do this. I will forever be grateful. They have my son back his mom and my mom back her daughter. - Lili
I am an addict. The only thing I knew how to do for a period of my life was " LIVE TO USE DRUGS." It did not matter who you were: family, friends, spouse. I was liar, thief, unemployed. I am very stubborn. My stay at Cri-Help was 3 years in a row. The most important piece of information that finally registered in my thick skull from recovering addicts that work at Cri-Help was this: "When the student is ready the teacher appears." When I had no money, Cri-Help gave me a bed, took me to meetings, structured my life, showed me how to live by the honor system, helped me find a job, showed me how to save money and become a responsible productive member of society, living clean & sober. Cri-Help provided food, medical assistance from the County of Los Angeles, and all they asked of me was to give back to the suffering addict. Today I live in Houston, Texas, and still have not forgotten the love Cri-Help and the staff of some of the most amazing people I have encountered in my life. I love you and thank you for loving me.
I was screened before entering the program and evaluated upon entering the program. Little did I understand what was occurring at that time. My whole treatment process was developed to address my needs. The same structure is how I live my life today. With complete freedom and I will absolutely never use any form of alcohol or drugs to address any issues that come up in my life, because of the skills I have developed during my treatment episode and nor do I have a need to relax me nor make me happy.
