Locating Austin Recovery Services
In June of 2012, a former emergency room physician in Austin, Texas was sentenced to six years in prison for prescribing thousands of doses of prescription drugs to those without a medical need for the drugs. It’s quite possible that this doctor’s actions served to fan the flames of prescription drug addiction in Austin, and the case is particularly sad as the doctor himself lost a son to drug overdose in 2010. It would have been ideal if the doctor had seen the terrible toll prescription drug addiction took on families, and had chosen to enter an Austin treatment center for his own addiction, and attempted to stop prescribing the drugs to addicts. Unfortunately, that doesn’t seem to have been the case.

Addictions like this can clearly be devastating, and they’re all the more tragic because they are far from inevitable. If you’re living with an addiction, there are many different types of Austin drug rehab centers that could provide you with help. By accepting that help, you could keep a tragedy from striking your own family.

Benefits of Entering a Recovery Program

Addictions to prescription drugs are clearly on the rise. In fact, according to the Substance Abuse and Mental health treatment Administration, the number of people 12 and older who entered treatment programs for addictions to prescription drugs rose by over 400 percent between 1998 and 2008. Addictions to other drugs, and addictions to alcohol, are also still serious problems in this country. Each addiction can be successfully treated, however, and the program you choose is likely to tailor the treatments you receive based on your:

By entering a treatment program, you’ll be making a commitment to stopping the abuse cycle, and you’ll be making a commitment to healing. You’ll learn how the addiction process works, how you can use the power of your mind to control your cravings and how you can build up a healthy lifestyle that doesn’t include the use of drugs or alcohol. After treatment, your life is likely to look much different, and much better, than it ever did before.

Find Rehab in Austin

If you’re dealing with an addiction, it’s time to ask for help. While you might think you can handle the addiction on your own, without the help of any outside agencies, the fact is that addictions can cause major changes in the way you think, and those changes can make it hard for you to make good decisions about your health and your future.

By working with a reputable Austin drug treatment center, you can undo that damage and learn to control your addiction. Admitting that you need help could be the best thing you’ve ever done.
