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.

Highly recommended rehab! I completed the entire program and been 2 years sober now!
Can't put into words how supported I've felt throughout my recovery journey and beyond. The team at Hollywood Hills Recovery feel like family and have been so incredible from day 1. They will take great care of you and guide you through everything you're going through.
I went through A New Start and graduated from the program last year. I can strongly say, without a doubt, that A New Start saved my life. I had absolutely nothing to look forward to, nothing to live for, before entering A New Start. I had no relationship with my family, I had no friends, and I was absolutely destroying my body, just to not feel anything. From my first admissions call, I knew I was going to be in the right place. I was given one on one attention and made to feel comfortable about my decision to enter this program. I\'m not going to lie- the program is not perfect...nothing is. There are little inconsistencies here and there that can be worked on, timeliness that can be worked on... but really, that\'s life! Having one day where I can\'t go to the gym at the promised time isn\'t going to make or break my sobriety. Having quality staff that genuinely care is what really helps you develop skills to stay sober. The one on one therapy was also incredible. The therapists are so great and really know what they\'re doing. They helped me get my relationship back with my family! I would have to say the day I look back on most fondly is my graduation. Staff stood in front of the community with me and vocalized all of the growth they had seen me experience. It was pretty incredible to have someone give me a certificate and remind me that I have come a long way. I have my 1 year sober birthday coming up, and I can genuinely say I wouldn\'t be here without A New Start. I still visit regularly as a member of the alumni program, and I wouldn\'t have it any other way.

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.
