Chemical dependency is a treatable illness.  While many think of addiction and alcoholism as a personal or moral failing, research proves a different story.  Addiction is a treatable condition of the brain, which has been created by an individual's choices to use or drink abusively.  Often, it is related to genetics and family history, and left untreated, is chronic, progressive, and fatal.  And yet, through abstinence and learning the skills necessary to begin and keep a new way of sober living, people can and do recover.  Powell CDC will help you get there.
