Drug Rehab in Oregon

There are all different kinds of substances of abuse that people can become addicted to in Oregon. Illegal street drugs such as heroin, cocaine, marijuana and methamphetamine are no longer the only drug threats because of the significant rise in prescription drug abuse within the past several years. Newly emerging designer drugs have also become a severe problem, such as the stimulant drug known as "bath salts" and synthetic variations of marijuana known as "spice" and "K2" which are being bought legally in specialty shops across the country. Just as rates of drug use and abuse are on the rise, so are rates of men and women needing and wanting to get quality help.

Drug treatment programs in Oregon can help people by not only helping them to abstain from using drugs, but also assist them through the difficult detoxification and withdrawal process. After the physical aspect of addiction is handled, substance abuse counselors will help recovering addicts get down to the bottom of how they became addicted to drugs to begin with, which will make sure they don't give in to the same traps and pitfalls in the future. If one attempts to stop drug use on their own, they will not only find it very hard if not impossible to not succumb to the extreme drug cravings, but they will also have to endure the physical and psychological symptoms of withdrawal alone, which can sometimes be incredibly punishing. If not in a drug treatment atmosphere, and with easy access to one's drug of choice, it can be easy enough to give in to relapse. This is why it is important for people to know that help does exist, and there is a way out of the seemingly never-ending cycle of drug addiction.

The way to successfully recover from addiction is to expose and resolve the factors in one's life which made drugs a solution, and then learning new solutions and coping skills to better handle these factors when they arise again in the future. Some drug rehab programs only address the physical aspect of addiction, and leave it up to the addicted person to sort out their emotional and psychological ties to drugs. A drug detoxification center or short term drug rehab center for example generally only helps people overcome the physical aspect of addiction and gets them to stop using drugs for a period of time. However, there is a lot more to tackle if one wants to remain abstinent and be able to do so with confidence and resolve. This is why it is important that individuals choose the correct kind of drug treatment facility that is going to be effective at getting all important issues addressed and resolved through counseling, education and other recovery techniques for as long as it takes to reach this point.

Because approaching addiction in this way is verified to be the most successful drug rehab approach, individuals who want to receive the most effective help should consider taking part in treatment at an inpatient or residential drug rehab center in Oregon. There are several reasons why these types of rehab programs offer the most effective treatment, but first and foremost the treatment environment in itself is one of the most important aspects of treatment to factor in. A drug treatment center will supply the best results when the individual can fully focus themselves in recovery and self betterment. Outpatient drug rehab facilities typically don't present desirable results and set a person up for relapse, because they are not totally able to focus on treatment and then they return home to things which may trigger their addiction. If in a residential or inpatient drug rehab setting this is of course not the case, in addition to the benefit of not having any access to drugs but having access to positive support and care around the clock.

One more component which is often a predictor of whether or not someone will find success by way of treatment at a drug rehab in Oregon is the length of time they stay in treatment. It has been confirmed time and time again that outcomes will be commensurate with the intensity and length of treatment. If one vital issue is left unresolved while in drug rehab, this can set the person up for failure and relapse. Treating addiction can be a difficult task, as not every person has the same difficulties to deal with and the same internal battles to fight. This is why the best treatment plan will ensure that there is no time frame on one's drug rehab process, and will allow each particular person to take the time to deal with all aspects of their own addiction at their individual pace.

If you or someone you know in Oregon is battling an addiction to anything, whether it is prescription drugs, illicit street drugs or any other substance of abuse, contact a substance abuse counselor right away. Find out which drug rehab facilities are located in your area and select one which will be the most effective for your situation.
