Binge drinking is a threat at any age, no matter how often you do it. Defined as drinking four or more drinks in two hours for a woman and drinking five or more drinks in the same time period for a man, binge drinking increases the risks of acute medical emergencies, chronic disease, the chances of being involved in a domestic violence incident, assault, sexual assault, as well as social, financial, and other troubles.
According to County of Los Angeles Public Health, between 2010 and 2012, an average of 23% of adults in Los Angeles County reported past-month binge drinking.1 This number would suggest that a significant percentage of people in and around Diamond Bar, California, are regularly giving up control to alcohol intoxication, making poor choices that can negatively impact their health, and potentially putting the emotional and/or physical health and wellbeing of the people around them at risk.
Though many think it is normal to drink heavily on the weekends, after work, or at a game or other event, the fact is that normal does not equal safe.

We were looking for a tech-friendly treatment center for a good friend and we’re so happy we found Luxe Recovery. My friend is a busy executive and Luxe was able to accommodate. He’s since left their program and is doing very well. He always mentions to me how blessed he feels, I just want to say Thank you.
Amazing Treatment Team and really cool treatment center for kids.
