Get Treatment for Addiction Now: Beat the Odds With Treatment

Treatment for substance use disorder (SUD) seems like an incredible challenge, with so many obstacles to overcome. It certainly may seem easier just to keep doing what you are doing. Yet, when you realize the opportunities available to you and the sheer number of resources available to help, it may be well worth it for you to explore getting care.

One way to help motivate yourself or your loved one to get help is by considering the options. Many people have questions, such as, “Will treatment even help?” “Don’t most people just relapse?”

2023 Statistics: You Are Not Alone

Data shared by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ Substance Abuse and Mental Health Administration (SAMHSA) provides insight into how significant SUDs and mental health complications are. Consider some of the following valuable statistics:

• 3.1% of people misused opioids in 2023. That’s about 8.9 million people.
• About 134.7 million over the age of 12 used alcohol in 2023. Of those, 61.4 million engaged in binge drinking in the previous month.
• About 22.8% of all adults over the age of 18 suffered from mental illness in the previous year, accounting for 58.7 million people.

These numbers illustrate just how complex SUDs and mental health conditions can be. The same study indicates that 1 in 4 people who needed substance use treatment in the previous year got it. That’s even though 30.5 million adults say they have had a substance use problem in the past.

A final key statistic to consider. Of those who believe they had an SUD, 30.5 million people – about 73.1% of them believe they have entered recovery or have recovered.

Why Treatment for SUDs Is Important

The use of alcohol and drugs is very common, and not everyone who uses these substances will develop an SUD. Yet, if you do have one, there are very specific and clear benefits to receiving professional treatment for SUDs. Some of those include:

Long-Term Benefits

Seeking professional treatment for an SUD ensures you have the resources you need to foster long-term recovery. What you will find is that, with treatment, you gain not just the ability to stop using those substances but also the tools to prevent release from happening.

Improves Physical Health

Addiction is a disease not just of the brain but also of the body. When you successfully build resilience against it, you allow your mind and body to heal from the condition. Treatment in a professional environment also ensures you receive medical care during treatment. Our residential treatment center provides these resources for you.

Build New Relationships and Foster Old Ones

Relationships are a big part of the recovery process. You may have some family or friends that may no longer be speaking to you or relationships you want to encourage to heal. On the other hand, some relationships may no longer be a good fit for you. In our professional treatment center, you gain the constant support you need to navigate these decisions and, when appropriate, work on repairing those relationships.
