More Information

If you're addicted to drugs, hopefully the sad story of Elvis will convince you to accept help from a Memphis treatment center.

If you've never received help for an addiction in the past, you might hold several misconceptions about what the therapy is and what it can do. For example, you might believe that the programs only help people who have "hit bottom" and who are unemployed and living on the streets. You might look at your own life and see few, if any, of these problems and this might lead you to believe that rehab won't help you.

Rehab facilities can certainly help you reach these goals. In rehab, you'll learn to control your impulses, and you might even receive career counseling, additional education and housing support that can help you get back on your feet.

In addition, many people find that they cannot stop abusing drugs or alcohol because they face serious withdrawal symptoms when they attempt to quit. These symptoms could include:

While it might be hard to endure these symptoms alone, many treatment programs provide medications that can help reduce the impact of these symptoms and make it more likely that you will get through the withdrawal process successfully, and be able to build upon your sobriety with later therapy.

According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse, 1.8 million people entered facilities for addiction help in 2008. About 41 percent of these people needed help for alcoholism, but about 20 percent had addictions to heroin or opiates; about 17 percent were dealing with addictions to marijuana.

Addictions can take a terrible toll on your life, as the Elvis story makes clear. By looking for Memphis addiction treatment programs, you can help prevent these consequences from taking place, and you can get the strength you'll need to control your addictions for the rest of your life.

We can help you to make the right choice.
