Free Alcoholism Hotlines in Washington.
Per the Washington State Liquor and Cannabis Board, nearly one-third (32%) of high-school seniors reported using alcohol in the last month. Of those students, more than half drank to excess, known as binge drinking. The numbers are about the same for adults. The same amount of 12th-graders abuse alcohol as adults not just in Washington but all across the US. Worse yet, statistically speaking, one Washingtonian loses their life every other day from DWI crashes within state borders.
Alcohol abuse is a prevalent issue in The Evergreen State, but unfortunately, it’s the same story all across America. Fortunately, however, there’s plenty of free help out there for those in need. We want to share some of these resources with you. Alcoholism is a disease, and the cure begins with helping yourself. Let us help you do just that.
