  • According to the Center for Disease Control, methadone use is riskier than other prescription painkiller use because levels build up in the body and may interfere with a person's normal heart rhythm or breathing.
  • A recent study found that 9.5% of primary and secondary syphilis cases among heterosexual men were among those who had a history of methamphetamine use.

Substance Abuse Treatment Services

Substance abuse treatment services are available in many different settings and with various rehab lengths and plans to suit the various needs of clients with any type of and level of addiction. With both long and short term and both inpatient and residential facilities now being paid by many insurance plans, there is no need to postpone receiving substance abuse treatment services for anyone who wants it.

Detoxification

Detoxification from alcohol and drugs is a process which can be made far more manageable and safely supervised when in a professional detox or drug treatment center. Sometimes detoxification isn't risk free, and even with the best of intentions people who go through detoxification independently in order to get sober may very well be putting their own health or even their lives at risk. It is usually far better to seek out detoxification solutions inside a professional center to prevent such hazards as well as have a smooth progression from detoxification to treatment in a top quality drug and alcohol rehab program.

Methadone Detoxification

It isn't unusual for those who use methadone as a solution to heroin or prescription opioid dependence to find that they are now hooked on methadone. To get off of methadone can be extremely tough, because withdrawal symptoms are typically a whole lot worse compared to those that one experiences from heroin. Methadone detoxification can be undergone within a detoxification program however such symptoms can be made more manageable therefore that there are less chance of relapse so that the individual can be off of all drugs permanently.

Outpatient

Outpatient solutions are on the bottom end of the spectrum of rehabilitation solutions with regards to level of care, as the individual is able to maintain their lifestyle in several ways with no commitment of needing to be in a rehabilitation facility while receiving rehabilitation services. While this may appear ideal it may not provide the required change of surroundings than many people in rehabilitation have to have to have a successful rehab.

Persons With Co-Occurring Mental And Substance Abuse Disorders

Persons with co-occurring mental and substance abuse problems are what are known in the field of drug and alcohol rehab as dual diagnosis clients. These clients must deal with both disorders during rehab in order to find resolution because one usually triggers the other. Fortunately, there are numerous alcohol and drug rehab facilities that can specifically address the problems that persons with co-occurring mental and drug abuse issues face in order to not simply become sober but mentally stable and also able to lead a much higher quality lifestyle and never feel the need to self medicate with alcohol and drugs.

Pregnant/Postpartum Women

Pregnant and postpartum women not only require help from a quality treatment for their own health and wellbeing but in addition the wellbeing of the unborn baby or for the child they have delivered who must be appropriately cared for as they become rehabbed and as a result capable of being a better mother. Treatment possibilities exist which give them and their child the appropriate healthcare services whilst ensuring they obtain the rehab they need to become sober and be able to remain this way in order to be the best mother they can be.

Women

Women have to have high quality rehabilitation in rehab but might also need particular attention to the unique challenges they face because of gender. Men and women not only face different and unique problems in life because of gender, but in addition may abuse drugs and alcohol for completely different reasons. drug treatment programs which focus on women and the specific and unique needs that women face can help enormously on the women's road to permanent abstinence and a higher quality of life.

Criminal Justice Clients

Criminal justice clients get into rehabilitation due to a court order to fulfill part of their sentencing for a drug offense. Criminal justice clients in alcohol and drug rehabilitation frequently receive reduced penalties, fines etc. when cooperating with drug rehab specifications enforced on them as part of sentencing and also of course when successfully graduating an alcohol and drug treatment center.

Spanish

Not all drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers have the staff or resources to focus on the demands of Spanish speaking clients, but fortunately there are more and more programs that are able to do so because the need for Spanish services is higher than any other time. Therapy, study data and so on are actually frequently accessible in Spanish in both long and short terms facilities which provide inpatient or residential treatment and outpatient Spanish rehab is available too around the country.

Self Payment

Self Payment is necessary when a person's insurance isn't going to pay for the entire cost of treatment or will only cover part of it. In these situations, it may seem like a disadvantage but individuals actually have a great deal of leverage because they can select whichever program they would like without the restrictions from health insurance providers that so many individuals face. In addition, rehab facilities will frequently offer payment assistance for individuals whose only choice is self payment to enable them to get into rehab.
