Your Treatment Options + State Drug Abuse Facts

Introduction

Drug addiction can seem overwhelming and insurmountable, and many facing the ravages of addiction feel alone and powerless. However, whether you are looking to achieve sobriety yourself or want to help a loved one free themselves from the clutches of addiction, help is available to assist in achieving true recovery. 

Approximately 8 percent of Missouri residents age 12 or older have a substance use disorder. In other words, 399,000 people in Montana struggle with a substance addiction, the majority of which are between 26 and 49 years of age. The highest rates of abuse in Missouri are in the Kansas City area; however, the rate of use among adolescents tends to be the same throughout the state.
There is no better time than now to ensure this type of tragedy doesn’t strike you or your family. Below, see information about the different types of drug treatment available in Missouri and throughout the United States.

Type & Length of Care

While there is no single standard by which to classify the wide variety of addiction treatment programs, many facilities offer treatment based on certain common models.

Long Term Treatment Programs (90-Day)

By providing a comprehensive range of services within a safe, residential environment, long-term addition recovery programs aim to offer patients treatment utilizing a supportive community-based setting. These facilities separate patients from the outside factors and situations that contributed to their drug or alcohol abuse, allowing them to completely focus on the recovery process.

Short Term Treatment Programs (28 / 30 Day)

As with long-term programs, short-term addiction treatment follows an inpatient residential model in which the patient resides at the treatment facility for the duration of the treatment. The model that these programs use emphasizes teaching ongoing coping mechanisms to allow patients to continue their sobriety after their month-long inpatient regime. 

Outpatient / Inpatient

Following an inpatient treatment program such as offered by long-term and short-term residential facilities, many patients transition into outpatient treatment. Those receiving addiction treatment on an outpatient basis have several different options, distinguished primarily by the time spent in treatment on a weekly basis. Partial hospitalization programs provide as many as 20 hours a week of counseling, while intensive outpatient programs allow more flexibility for school or work with approximately 10 weekly hours of counseling. 

Residential Treatment Services

Detox

For many drug or alcohol addicts entering treatment, a detoxification program is the necessary first step before transitioning to either inpatient or outpatient treatment. Physical dependence on drugs and alcohol can lead to severe and even fatal side effects when entering withdrawal. Detox programs help patients through this withdrawal progress, often stabilizing their symptoms with medication and then providing monitoring until the physical dependence is gone.

Sober-living house

As a transition between an inpatient addiction treatment facility and independent living, sober-living houses provide a supportive environment for those recovering from substance abuse who do not need round-the-clock monitoring. These homes often have strict rules such as curfews and mandatory chores in order to help residents maintain their sobriety.

Dual diagnosis

When drug or alcohol addiction accompanies a mental health disorder, dual diagnosis facilities are equipped to provide treatment. These programs utilize substance abuse counselors alongside mental health professionals who can provide treatment for both addiction and mental illness at the same time.

Commonly Abused & Treated Drugs:

Like in many states, the non-medical use of pain relievers has become a significant problem in Missouri. In 2015, nearly 6,000 treatment admissions were attributed to meth and heroin has accounted for a substantial number of admissions as well. The rate of marijuana use declined in 2015, however, with 4,000 fewer treatment admissions than there were during its peak year.

Addiction to drugs or alcohol can be tremendously difficult to overcome on your own. While no one treatment option is ideal for every recovering addict, professional help can make all the difference. If you or someone that you love is facing addiction, consider seeking assistance from an addiction treatment program that is away from the environment and people who contributed to the addiction.
