More Information

Like other states that border the Gulf Coast, Mississippi has been exposed to its share of weather-related disasters. Its coastal access also makes the Magnolia State vulnerable to the influences of international drug trafficking. But in spite of the presence of illicit drugs like heroin, cocaine, marijuana and meth in Mississippi, prescription drug addiction is one of the fastest-growing substance abuse trends. Drug rehab programs in the South must provide services that meet the changing needs of this region’s population.
Identifying Prescription Drug Addiction
Painkillers like morphine, hydrocodone and oxycodone provide valuable relief to Mississippi residents who are living with chronic pain. But the addictive potential of these drugs makes them dangerous to those who use them without a doctor’s prescription. The non-medical use of prescription pain relievers is a growing problem in Mississippi.

In July 2012, Mississippi Public Broadcasting reported that 9 million doses of hydrocodone, an opiate used in drugs like Vicodin, had been dispensed in the previous 30 days. Doctors have gotten savvy about identifying the signs of prescription drug addiction, but the problem still persists. How do you know if you or someone you love has become chemically dependent on these medications?

• You seek prescriptions from multiple doctors to get the drugs you need.
• You’ve had financial or legal problems related to your prescription drug use.
• You get anxious, angry or hostile when you can’t have access to a medication.
• You develop physical withdrawal symptoms, like muscle spasms, nausea, sweating or chills, when you try to cut down your dose or quit.

Opiate medications may seem safer than illicit street narcotics like heroin or cocaine. But in fact, these central nervous system depressants have been responsible for overdose deaths throughout the country. Getting help for prescription drug addiction may not only save your closest relationships, your job and your home — it may save your life.

Can I Afford Drug Rehab in Mississippi?

Alcohol and drug abuse treatment and prevention are top priorities for the Mississippi Department of Mental Health. This agency operates a statewide network of nonprofit, community-based programs that can help you get clean and sober, even if you lack the funds to pay for treatment.

*State-Sponsored Drug Rehab in Mississippi

Where can you turn in Mississippi if you don’t have health insurance or the financial resources to pay for rehab? Sponsored by the Bureau of Alcohol and Drug Abuse Services, Community Mental Health Centers (CMHCs) throughout Mississippi provide rehab services such as:

• Drug detox services
• Residential alcohol or drug rehab
• Crisis intervention services
• 24-hour helplines
• 10-week intensive outpatient rehab programs
• Aftercare services for rehab graduates
• Vocational counseling, childcare and housing assistance

The cost of drug and alcohol rehab varies from one treatment program to another. At a nonprofit outpatient treatment center, you can receive counseling, medication therapy and access to community-based resources at little or no cost. Nonprofit state-sponsored rehab programs are also very affordable, offering sliding-scale fee structures to clients with financial difficulties. Church-sponsored rehab programs may provide their services for free, but observation of the organization’s spiritual traditions may be required.
