April is Alcohol Awareness Month which is intended to educate people and communities about the consequences of alcohol-related problems. There are over 18 million individuals or 8.5% of Americans who suffer from alcohol-use disorders. In addition, there are millions of individuals who experience the devastating effects of the alcohol problem of someone in their life. In fact, 25% of U.S. children are exposed to alcohol-use disorders in their family.
National Alcohol Screening Day is an important part of Alcohol Awareness month. This day is intended to help individuals who may not know how much is too much to drink or if the amount that they drink is putting them at risk for injury, illness and addiction. Daymark Recovery Services is offering a free and anonymous screening on April 5th, from 9-4.
