Overcoming addiction requires support and deciding if drug or alcohol rehab is the right step does not have to be made from rock bottom. We provide information about individualized treatment and program options for heroin, opiate, cocaine and meth addiction, as well as for marijuana and addiction to painkillers or prescription drugs. Recently there has been a dramatic increase of individuals who have fallen victim to prescription drug dependence because of the highly addictive nature of painkillers often prescribed. It’s estimated that ten percent of the population uses drugs in a pattern consistent with the established criteria for abuse. Because addiction is a chronic, often relapsing disease, people cannot stop using for a few days and be totally cured. It is not recommended to try to detox independently as the potential risks and side effects can be life threatening. Most individuals respond best to long-term care in achieving the ultimate goal of sobriety. Because addiction has so many dimensions and disrupts many varying aspects of an individual’s life, effective treatment programs typically incorporate medically supervised detox as well as behavioral therapies and individual counseling. By utilizing the resources available you can find the best treatment options for you or a loved one, and the tools to make a decision which is crucial for success in achieving a drug–free lifestyle.
