Arizona has seen a phenomenal alcohol abuse and alcohol addiction problem for several years now. There are hundreds of big name alcohol addiction treatment centers in Arizona in all the prominent cities and towns, notably Phoenix, Mesa and Yuma.

These are relentlessly running campaigns about the alcohol problem and providing treatment to the alcoholics that already exist. The groups of Alcoholics Anonymous are also quite prominent in the state. But even then, Arizona is finding it very difficult to clamber out of its alcohol addiction problem, which is the number one substance abuse problem in the state.Each year about 3,000 Arizonans have to enter alcohol rehab centers because their conditions become insufferable to them. This is only the number of the people who purely have alcohol dependency problems. We have to also count the 4,000 odd people who check into drug rehab centers in Arizona who have a compounded alcohol problem too. These people with a combined problem of drug and alcohol abuse are at the most vulnerable state right now in Arizona.

People who get into an alcohol abuse problem have a great chance of developing a drug dependency. Since marijuana is quite easily available in Arizona, there is a huge risk that alcoholics in Arizona will develop marijuana addiction too. Marijuana is considered to be the root of other major drug addictions like those of heroin and cocaine. It can be very well understood why Arizona is facing a huge threat of drug and alcohol abuse, which are combined problems within the state.
