Investigating Memphis Treatment Programs
Of all of the people who have needed drug rehab in Memphis, Elvis Presley might be the most famous. While his entourage worked hard to keep his prescription drug addiction quiet while the singer was alive, reports since his death have clearly shown that he was using a dangerous amount of drugs in the years leading up to his death, and perhaps that abuse contributed to his demise in 1977.

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

Benefits of Enrolling Into a Rehab Facility

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.

Who Receives Help?

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.
