Countless individuals struggle with drug or alcohol addiction throughout the United States. Fortunately, many of these people will seek help through organizations such as Alcoholics Anonymous (AA), or Narcotics Anonymous (NA), and the thousands of residential and outpatient clinics that are devoted to treating addiction.
If you have gone through the continuum of care but repeatedly failed at achieving long-term sobriety, it may not be your fault. While addiction treatment teaches accountability, it’s possible that one of the rehab centers you’ve attended is not up to the industry’s standard or just isn’t the right fit for you.
In 2014, 21.5 million adults struggled with a substance use disorder (SUD), which occurs “when recurrent alcohol or illicit drug use causes clinically significant impairment, including health problems, disability, and failure to meet major responsibilities at work, school, or home,” writes the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration.
Substance use disorders have contributed significantly to the burden of disease in our country, and they have become costly due to lost productivity, health care, and crime. Substance use disorders are not only preventable, but they are treatable with proper care. There are several benefits to attending a quality drug rehab center, but research indicates that many people will not receive the treatment they require.
While addiction has always been an issue throughout history, the option for treatment has never been more advanced or straightforward than it is today. In 2017 alone, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) states that 70,237 drug overdose deaths occurred in the United States.
The age-adjusted rate of overdose deaths increased dramatically by 9.6 percent from 2016 to 2017. Opioids are the main culprit driving this crisis, and they were present in 47,600 of these 2017 deaths (67.8 percent of all drug overdose deaths).
With increased access to care and a drug crisis wreaking havoc, many rehab centers have opened with the intent to make money. Unfortunately, when you see a rise in those needing help, you will also find those looking to profit off someone else’s misery.
Counterfeit drug rehab programs are a problem throughout the country, and it’s essential to know if the drug rehab center you choose is qualified and has the right certifications to be effective.
The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) released a list of criteria that highlight the most effective and practical treatment. These guidelines help an individual find a tailored program that best suits their needs. These guidelines include:
During your quest to find the most effective and qualified treatment center, you must consider programs that offer these programs, which include:
