Connect with Wauwatosa Treatment Centers
Wauwatosa and the state of Wisconsin as a whole have a high rate of
alcohol use. Fatalities related to alcohol abuse in Wisconsin have been higher than the national average since 2000. Statistics also show that Wisconsin women of childbearing age are more likely to engage in heavy drinking. However, there is better news regarding the state's teenagers and young adults.
Use of alcohol in these age groups has decreased over the years, giving the state some hope of reducing deaths and injuries caused by alcohol.Signs an Addict Needs Rehab
Has someone you love tried quitting drugs or alcohol, but just couldn't? If there are no addiction issues at play, then a person should be able to quit any at any time. If your loved one has tried to quit on their own repeatedly without success, they likely need rehab. Also, if they have quit before but suffered from withdrawal symptoms, that is a sure sign of addiction. Try to get help for your loved one as soon as possible.
