Chico is an amazing city, but it still has problems such as alcohol addiction.
The term "alcoholism" refers to any type of alcohol consumption that is simply too much. That means it is either too much for a person to remain in good mental stability, or too much for them to remain physically healthy. Oftentimes an alcoholic will end up engaging in risky activities, such as driving while under the influence.
One clear sign of a person being addicted to alcohol is the fact that they suffer physical signs of withdrawal when they haven't had it in a while. People are more likely to become addicted to alcohol according to genetics and their environmental situation.
The city of Chico has a population of around 90,000 within the actual city, while the Chico Metropolitan Area has more than double that. The city is the biggest one (in terms of population) located in Butte County, California, which is in the central, northern part of California.

The city of Chico, though larger than plenty of small towns, still has a small neighborhood feeling to it – but with the excellent infrastructure of a bigger city. Despite its amazing people and scenery, Chico is just like any city in the fact that it has the persistent problem of alcohol addiction.
There are multiple schools of thought when it comes to looking at alcoholism. For this reason, there are many different treatment options available. This can definitely be a good thing, however, as there is no one "right" way to treat alcoholism. Alcohol addiction treatment should vary according to each individual's needs and experience.
Some treatment options include physical treatment (or detoxification), psychological treatment (such as therapy, whether it is group or individual), and medications. The type and dose of medication as well as the intensity of the other treatment options all depends on the person's level of addiction.
