Heroin and prescription medications have made a huge impact on the overdose rates in Saint Louis, MO. This state has suffered from the epidemic that’s been sweeping across the nation. Missouri has acted as a hotbed for Methamphetamine production and trafficking of a variety of illegal substances. The MO Department of Mental Health has released a number of new reports detailing the use of drugs and Alcohol throughout the state. The reports point to a need for ongoing education concerning the treatment of addiction on a wider scale.

Choosing the Right Treatment Option

Inpatient treatment programs can provide the type of round-the-clock care for those who suffer from a difficult detox period, or when they are also suffering from a co-occurring mental disorder along with their addiction. Many may require an intervention prior to agreeing to an inpatient program. This treatment option is extremely involved, and it requires a wide range of very intensive cognitive and behavioral therapies. Outpatient programs are a bit more relaxed; these provide treatment on a schedule for those that need to continue with work or have familial obligations. As long as the patient is able to abstain from drugs and Alcohol, these programs can be quite effective.

Asking for Help

Addicted people may feel helpless or alone in their addiction—this can make it difficult to reach out and ask somebody for help. Admitting to an addiction is really the first step in the treatment process. It’s very important that a person understand the negative impact that drugs and Alcohol have had on their life and relationships, but they also need to recognize their lack of control when it comes to substance abuse. No one chooses addiction, and it’s very important to keep this in mind when dealing with a friend or family member who’s suffering from the disease.
