This #AlcoholAwarenessMonth, let's take a moment to look at the facts. One in five New Yorkers report excessive alcohol use in the form of either binge or heavy drinking. Alcohol use disorder affects millions of individuals, families and communities. It puts them at risk for injury, chronic illnesses, and violence. Please visit the NYC Regional Addiction Resource Center's comprehensive resource list for links to learn about alcohol prevention, toolkits for communicating about underage drinking with teens, support services, where to find treatment, and recovery services and systems at: https://www.rarc-iuany.org
Help and treatment are always available. If you or someone you love are struggling, call the NYS OASAS HOPEline, at any time of the day or night, 365 days a year at: 1-877-8-HOPENY (1-877-7369). or text 467369.
