• In an attempt to save lives, the state is changing its approach to prevention and treatment. For intravenous drug users, Oklahoma has increased access to clean syringes. Lawmakers are currently working to establish a Good Samaritan law, which would protect people calling to report an overdose, as well as the person overdosing. There is a shift from stigmatizing substance abuse to trying to help those who are suffering.

  These harm reduction policies also reflect a change in Oklahoma’s treatment facilities. Many people across the state are in need, and resources are increasing to help them.

• • Almost 300,000 people every year are dependent upon or abusing substances in Oklahoma.

There are more than 200 treatment facilities in Oklahoma, and we can help you find a rehab where you or your loved one can begin healing. Start researching facilities to see which services and treatment philosophies resonate with you.

  The two main treatment formats are outpatient and inpatient treatment. Outpatient treatment is often seen as a more flexible option—clients attend treatment services during the day, but do not stay at the facility overnight. For some people who cannot afford to leave their work or family responsibilities for an extended period of time, outpatient still allows them to receive treatment services. Other people choose outpatient during the transition from an inpatient facility.

  An inpatient rehab is also known as a residential rehab because clients live at the facility for a period of time. Counseling and therapy occurs during the day—both individually and in groups—and clients have access to 24/7 care, even when they’re not in a session. Inpatient treatment often involves work with self-help groups and recovery programs as well.

  For people with co-occurring mental illness and substance use disorders, there is an inpatient option known as a dual diagnosis rehab. At these facilities, both conditions are treated side-by-side, because the symptoms are often intertwined. Mental disorders are the third leading cause of chronic disease in Oklahoma—behind pulmonary conditions and hypertension, but more prevalent than heart disease, diabetes, cancer, or stroke. Substance abuse and mental illness are serious conditions, and you or your loved one deserve proper care and attention.

  You’ll also find that each rehab offers a different variety of special groups—some are gender-specific, or some are age-specific. There are counseling groups that address trauma, abuse, or domestic violence. Some facilities conduct groups with veterans or active military members. There are even facilities that specialize in helping clients with legal issues and criminal records.

  You may have questions in the process of looking for an Oklahoma rehab. Which treatment format is right for you? How will you pay for treatment? Will your health insurance plan cover a stay in rehab? Please, call us anytime with questions along the way. We are happy to help: 1-866-317-7050.
