Approximately three million U.S. adults and 16 million people worldwide have had or currently have an opioid use disorder, but very few get the professional treatment they deserve.[1] One of the reasons why overcoming opioid addiction is so difficult is because people who are addicted experience painful, flu-like withdrawal symptoms and intense drug cravings when they try to stop taking opioids. These barriers often stop people from seeking treatment.

Suboxone (buprenorphine/naloxone) is an opioid addiction treatment medication. Find out if Suboxone treatment in California is right for you.

According to the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, “85.6 percent of people ages 18 and older reported that they drank alcohol at some point in their lifetime.” Out of those individuals, nearly 15 million people meet the criteria for an alcohol use disorder.

Alcohol use disorder is a chronic and progressive condition that causes a significant impact on a person’s ability to function in their daily lives.

Collectively, we owe our country’s veterans a debt of gratitude for their dedication and service. Our nation’s veterans sacrificed and committed wholly in service to our country. Many risked their lives, willing to make the ultimate sacrifice to protect our freedom and safety. For their sacrifice, they asked nothing in return.

While there is more research to be done about the connection between veterans and substance abuse, we have some understanding of the role addiction plays in the lives of our country’s service members and veterans. Understanding why substance abuse and addiction are so common among veterans can help clinical providers develop better treatment programs for our nation’s heroes.

Veterans experience trauma, PTSD, and other difficulties both at war and at home that can increase their risk for substance abuse.

In situations where a person refuses to go to rehab, allowing them to continue using drugs or alcohol can be dangerous. If someone you love continues refusing treatment, you may consider staging an addiction intervention.

An intervention is a carefully planned event where friends, family, and loved ones come together with the common goal of convincing an addicted person to go to rehab. This goal is accomplished as group members take turns reciting their impact statements which aim to strike an emotional chord with the addict and get them to agree to professional treatment.

Opioid addiction is an epidemic in the United States. With thousands of people struggling with addiction and eventually suffering from a life-threatening opioid overdose, the need for treatment awareness is at an all-time high.

One of the biggest barriers to opioid addiction treatment is the fear of withdrawal symptoms. While the opioid withdrawal timeline can be difficult to cope with, opioid detox centers can provide patients with the relief they need to overcome them.

The opioid withdrawal timeline usually lasts between 72 hours and one week, although some people will have long-lasting symptoms.

Addiction takes a toll on your mental and physical health. It can strain even your strongest relationships, put you at risk of serious harm, and lead to legal and financial trouble that can follow you for life.

Many people with addiction require treatment to overcome the condition. There may be barriers to getting the treatment you need. The stigma surrounding addiction, taking time away from work or family, and concern about the cost of addiction treatment may prevent some people from seeking help. Fortunately, many of the expenses related to addiction treatment and recovery are covered by health insurance plans.

The Affordable Care Act (ACA) requires all health insurance providers to cover drug and alcohol rehab services. Find an in-network rehab.

When you live with substance abuse or addiction, getting the comprehensive, compassionate treatment you need to recover is essential. Without treatment, you are more likely to face severe harm to your physical and mental health. Your relationships may suffer, and you could face life-altering legal or financial consequences that will follow you for years.

Traveling out of state for rehab can be a great option for some people, but others may benefit more from going to a local rehab center.

Alcoholism is a common issue in the United States due to the normalization of alcohol consumption in our culture. According to the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, nearly 15 million people struggle with an alcohol use disorder.

When someone is addicted to alcohol, their body becomes dependent on the presence of the substance. If they decide to cut down or completely stop their use of alcohol, their body will begin to exhibit withdrawal symptoms. Alcohol withdrawal is one of the most severe forms of withdrawal, potentially causing life-threatening symptoms like seizures or delirium tremens.

Individuals at risk of experiencing withdrawal symptoms should attend a professional medical detox program for alcoholism.

Detoxing from alcohol alone is never recommended. Typically, acute symptoms of alcohol withdrawal last for 1-2 weeks.
