Drug & Alcohol Rehab Centers In Mississippi

Deciding to seek treatment for substance abuse is the first step towards recovery. You or your loved one can choose from almost 100 different rehabs across the state of Mississippi. The first decision that will narrow down your search is deciding between inpatient or outpatient treatment.

There are fewer inpatient rehabs in Mississippi, but treatment at these facilities is often more involved and comprehensive. Clients are residents of an inpatient rehab for a period of time, which gives them access to constant care, therapy, and support. Inpatient facilities offer a layer of safety, keeping clients separated from their home lives and possible temptations to relapse. Inpatient rehab typically is a more intensive form of treatment and it’s often a key factor in maintaining long-term recovery.

There are also outpatient rehabs, where clients participate in daytime treatment services. For many people, outpatient is a great option that offers stability after inpatient and during their transition back into work and family life. For others who are unable to make arrangements for inpatient treatment, outpatient is a more flexible option that still has the potential to be life-changing—always provided that the individual puts in the work towards their recovery.

Addiction in Mississippi continues to bring major harm to the state’s communities. Currently, more than half of the children in Mississippi state custody come from homes where one or more parents are suffering from substance abuse. Alcohol, marijuana, and amphetamines remain popular substances of abuse in the state, but opioid abuse is on the rise. During the entire year of 2011, there was only one heroin overdose death. In 2014, there were 23 heroin deaths and 64 prescription opioid deaths across the state.
