Having a family member that drinks too much alcohol is stressful. This can be even more stressful for children. Alateen is available to help teenagers through this difficult time. It is easy to find meetings in El Mirage, Arizona.
What is Alateen?
Alateen is part of the Al-Anon family groups. Alateen was created just for teenagers. Teenagers share their experiences with each other during the meetings. They also share coping strategies and support one another. This group is not for teenagers that have a drinking problem of their own.
Alateen is not a place to just hang out. The meetings are also not a place to complain about parents. Members are committed to helping and supporting each other.
Alateen and Al-Anon groups both learn and follow the 12-step principles of Alcoholics Anonymous. Alateen members also follow the twelve traditions of Alateen. Following the twelve traditions helps keep the support group together and focused. The goal of Alateen is for members to help other teens of alcoholics.
Meetings are led by one or two Group Sponsors. The Group Sponsors are adult Al-Anon members who have completed a certification process. For safety reasons the group cannot meet if the Group Sponsor is not there. If there is not an Alateen meeting available, teens are always welcome to attend the Al-Anon meeting.
Is There an Alcohol Addiction Problem in El Mirage, Arizona?
El Mirage, Arizona is part of Maricopa county. The Coordinated Community Health Needs Assessment For Maricopa County listed statistics from a survey at the county level. Out of the adults surveyed 16.1% said they had participated in binge drinking during 2017. The binge-drinking rate in the state of Arizona was 17.2% for adults in 2018.
Binge drinking is when a person has multiple drinks in a short amount of time. This can lead to health problems and accidents. For men, binge drinking is five or more drinks, for women it is four or more drinks.
A couple of researchers put together data from multiple years of the National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH). They found that one out of every ten children aged 17 and under lived with a parent that had alcohol use disorder. That is around 7.5 million children across the United States that have a parent with a drinking problem.
In 2018 the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reported that 10,511 people in the United States died in drunk driving crashes. There have been many drunk driving deaths in Maricopa County the last few years:
