Free Alcoholism Hotlines in Arkansas.
Of the 75 counties in Arkansas, 34 are dry, meaning alcohol is not available for purchase within county borders. This forces a large amount of the population to travel for alcohol. This could also be why according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration the drunk driving death rate is higher in Arkansas (4.6 people per 100,000) than in any other state in America.
Around five percent of state residents abuse alcohol. That’s one in every 20 people. Alcohol abuse is an extremely difficult and prevalent issue, not just for Arkansas residents but for all Americans. Fortunately, there are plenty of free resources available for those suffering from substance abuse in The Natural State. Alcoholism is a disease, and the cure begins with helping yourself. Let us help you do just that.
