Scary things to consider when choosing not to intervene.
We have a drug problem in the country — an observation that presumably few would deny.
Opioid abuse and addiction have been the subject of much hand wringing in the past two or three years. However, the problem is much broader and deeper than that.
There are over 22 million individuals in the U.S with a substance abuse problem (including alcohol). At any given moment, there are about 4.5 million individuals who have a substance use disorder due to the abuse of illicit and prescription drugs.
The public health consequences of substance abuse are staggering. There were over 70,000 drug overdose deaths in 2017, the majority due to opioids. This represents a doubling of drug related deaths in just 10 years.
The more extensive health and mental health consequences of drug abuse are equally troubling. For example, nearly eight million individuals have a co-occurring mental health and substance abuse disorder. All of this says nothing about the impacts on individuals, families and communities.
If you or a loved one has faced addiction, you’re not alone. One in seven Americans will face substance addiction in their lives, according to USA Today. However, only 10% of those people will ever receive treatment.
Addiction is caused by a variety of factors, including genetics, psychological problems, the type of drug, and trauma, among other things. It can build slowly over time and become a chemical craving for the substance.
One of the major barriers to treatment is cost. According to recovery.org, inpatient treatment can cost between $2,000 and $25,000 for a 30-day program. Outpatient treatment can range from free to $10,000, and detox can range from $300 to $800 a day.
Given the high cost of treatment, the idea of paying for rehab can seem overwhelming, but it doesn’t have to be.
The cost of not addressing addiction is also high. There’s the money required to pay for the substances, along with the incalculable toll addiction takes on one’s body and interpersonal relationships.
Addiction can cause feelings of a loss of control or helplessness, but there is hope for recovery. Rehab can help people who are addicted to substances overcome the obstacles through services that include detox, counseling, nutritional therapy and relationship building. Rehab does have up front costs, but in the long run, recovery can alleviate future financial burdens, and can be an instrumental way to repair relationships and one’s lifestyle.
Rehab can be expensive, which may discourage those in need of treatment. This doesn’t have to be the case. There are options for those facing addiction, as well as their loved ones.
Don’t give up hope.
