• • In Alabama, almost 350,000 people are dependent upon or abusing drugs and/or alcohol each year.
  • Only between 5% to 10% of those people who need treatment in the state receive it.
  • About 1 in every 4 treatment admissions in 2015 reported marijuana as their primary substance of abuse.
  • Behind marijuana, alcohol was the next most popular substance of abuse, followed by opiates other than heroin, and then amphetamines.
  • Nearly 1/3 of those treatment admissions were between the ages of 26 and 35.

• The right Alabama rehab can help you on the path to freedom from alcohol, drugs, or both. There are nearly 150 different treatment facilities to choose from statewide, and making a decision may seem like a daunting task. First, you’ll need to understand more of which services each facility offers.

  For those seeking to maintain their work or family lives while in treatment, you’ll want to explore outpatient care options. Treatment services are offered during scheduled daytime hours, and can be flexible with some schedules. But, better treatment outcomes are seen in people who attend an inpatient (also known as residential) facility. Inpatient offers round-the-clock care with treatment professionals and a safe place to begin healing.

  Treating addiction comes along with treating its underlying conditions. For people dealing with mental illness alongside substance abuse, there are dual diagnosis rehabs. Alabama’s Department of Mental Health (ADMH) has been extremely proactive about aligning resources for mental health and substance abuse recovery, to ensure adequate care is given.

  Be sure to also ask about each rehab’s acceptable forms of payment. More than half of the rehabs in Alabama will accept Medicaid, or will offer treatment at no charge for qualifying clients who can’t pay. The Alabama Department of Mental Health (ADMH) has an application for Medicaid eligibility available on their website.

  After treatment, aftercare can be equally important to maintaining sobriety. Many facilities will assist in discharge planning to help guide clients leaving treatment. Some even offer aftercare services, like sober living homes or case management services.

  Whether the treatment world is all new to you or you’ve done this before, don’t hesitate to call and consult with us during your decision process: 1-866-317-7050.
