Alcoholism
Alcoholism is a prevalent addiction in California, with many individuals affected by alcohol use disorder, also known as alcoholism or alcohol addiction.

The path to recovery lies in addiction treatment, which is readily available at McAlister Institute for Trt and Educ (MITE)/East Region Teen Recovery Ctr in El Cajon, California. Don’t hesitate to seek help for yourself or someone you care about, as prolonged drug use can trap you in a destructive cycle of addiction.

In El Cajon, California, there are various treatment options available to address the needs of individuals with dual diagnoses. When it comes to addiction treatment, a dual diagnosis, also known as a co-occurring disorder or comorbidity, occurs when someone experiences two or more disorders simultaneously, such as a substance use disorder and a depressive disorder.
