Browse Rochester Hills Treatment Centers
Rochester Hills, Michigan is a northern suburb of Detroit. This part of the state has been hit hard by the ongoing recession, with
unemployment more than doubling in 2008 to 2009 after several years of relative prosperity.
There is a great deal of empirical evidence demonstrating the relationship between economic stress and substance abuse. Considering the state of the US economy, it should come as no surprise that rates of substance abuse are on the rise, in Rochester Hills and throughout the country.
According to the
National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), 17.5 percent of unemployed adults have used illegal narcotics as opposed to 8.4 percent of those with full-time jobs.
Regardless of your economic situation, help is available when you decide that enough is enough.
What to Look at Before Entering Rehab Treatment
For many people, the best option is isolation from the circumstances that led to their addiction in the first place. This means undergoing a residential treatment program, which usually lasts for between four and eight weeks. If you cannot take time away from work and are able to handle your daily obligations, an outpatient program may work for you.
Part of the equation is detoxification, which usually requires medical attention and the use of prescriptions. Find out if this is part of a treatment program, or if you must undergo detox at a medical center.
What Drugs Are People Taking?
According to a 2010 National Survey on Drug Use and Health, drugs of choice in descending order of popularity were:
- Marijuana
- Pain relievers
- Tranquilizers
- Designer drugs (e.g., Ecstasy)
- Inhalants
- Cocaine
Unfortunately, less than 12 percent of people with substance abuse problems received help for their addictions.
