Lynwood, CA Detox and Rehab Centers

Alcohol use and abuse are costing Lynwood, California, families money and lots of it. According to the County of Los Angeles Public Health Department, the tangible costs to Los Angeles County due to alcohol total $10.3 billion: $7.7 billion in lost productivity, $976.7 million in health care costs, and $1.6 billion in “other” related costs, including costs of property damage, criminal justice system use, and car accidents.¹

You may not feel as if you are personally paying for any of this, but you absolutely are. If you pay taxes, your taxes are going to cover these costs and not going to cover some costs of community-supported items you use and need (e.g., good schools for your kids, subsidized childcare, and increased police protection and security). If you are not paying taxes, then you are still “paying” in the sense that you do not have access to any of the services that might be able to support you and others who are unemployed because local, state, and federal funding is tied up in paying for the billions of dollars lost to untreated addiction.

If your loved one is struggling with an alcohol use disorder in Lynwood, California, you can do your part to make an impact on the problem by helping your loved one find an alcohol rehab that will provide them with the personalized treatment they need to stop drinking and start living a balanced life in recovery.
