Investigating Sioux City Treatment Services
In 2010, Money Magazine ranked Sioux City, Iowa among the nation’s “100 Best Places to Live.” On the other hand, the Website Medical News Today ranks the community Number 14 among America’s “40 Drunkest Cities.” According to the report (based on research originally published on Daily Beast), the ranking was based on “average monthly alcohol consumption, highest levels of binge drinking, and where sizable percentages of people suffered serious health complications due to excessive drinking.”

The fact is that alcoholism not only destroys relationships and careers; it ultimately destroys brain cells and vital organs, particularly the liver.

Those who are struggling with alcohol owe it to themselves as well as those around them to seek recovery – and there are plenty of treatment options available in Sioux City.
