DRUG AND ALCOHOL REHAB
According to the National Household Survey on Drug and Alcohol Rehab & Abuse, there are an estimated 16 MILLION illicit drug users in the United States, and that number does not count those who abuse prescription and over-the-counter drugs and alcohol.
When individuals engage in self-destructive behavior, such as drug and alcohol abuse, they often don't realize that they need help.
Some form of drug and alcohol rehab treatment is necessary for the majority of addicts to overcome their addictions.

- DETOX - Detoxification programs

- Therapeutic Community Treatment
- 12-step programs
