Free Alcoholism Hotlines in Hawaii.

According to Hawaii News Now, more than 20% of the adult Hawaiian population consumes alcohol to excess. Compare this to the already-high national average of 18% per state and it’s clear there’s an issue. Worse yet, more than one Hawai’i resident annually perishes from alcohol-related causes. An overwhelming 38% of traffic fatalities in Hawai’i involves alcohol.

Of all fifty states, Hawai’i is among the most popular vacation states. For many Americans, vacation means having drinks. That being said, a clear connection exists between tourism and alcohol abuse, and with 1 of every 5 Hawaiian natives abusing alcohol, it’s safe to say drinking is an issue in The Aloha State. Fortunately, there’s help, free of cost, and lots of it. Alcoholism is a disease, and the cure begins with helping yourself. Let us help you do just that.
