Alcoholism is a destructive disease that affects not only the alcoholic himself but those closest to him. Treating alcoholism is not an easy process, it takes expert care and commitment from the individual. At Outpatient Medical Detox we have been able to help many people, like yourself, to overcome addiction and to create a more fulfilling sober lifestyle.
Alcohol is a socially acceptable addictive substance. According to the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, 87.6 percent of people ages 18 or older reported that they drank alcohol at some point in their lifetime in 2014. There are reports that 16.3 million adults ages 18 and older had an Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD) in 2014. Only 1.5 million adults received treatment for an AUD at a specialized facility, leaving millions more untreated.
You are not alone in your addiction, millions of others suffer with alcoholism. The difference between you and others suffering from alcoholism, is that you have admitted that you have a problem and are ready to start treating it.
