Of particular concern is young people's perception of alcohol, who have normalized it as part of their culture. Indeed, most young people under the age of 21 have been able to access alcohol with ease. There is also a concern about the influence that alcohol advertisements have on young people. As a form of intervention, Charleston officials are encouraging parents to discourage teen alcohol abuse. They have also established outreach programs for young people to provide them with alternatives. Furthermore, for those who are already in the grips of alcoholism, medically supported detox facilities have been made available. The withdrawal symptoms associated with alcohol abuse have the potential to be fatal, and Charleston authorities believe it to be vital that people receive treatment in a safe and successful manner.
