More Information

For some people, even thinking about entering Ohio drug rehab would be an admission of weakness. You might truly believe, deep down in your heart, that you could control your addiction as soon as you wanted to do so, and if your willpower was strong enough, you’d succeed. Addictions can be slippery, however, and controlling an addiction means more than just wishing that circumstances were different in some way. People who enter Ohio drug treatment programs aren’t weak, by any stretch of the imagination. In fact, by admitting that they have a problem and working to get help for that problem, people might be showing a significant amount of strength.

How Risky Are Addictions?

Addictions can provide you with a false sense of control, allowing you to believe that you know exactly how much of an addictive substance you can take before you’ll face disaster. The longer you use drugs, however, the larger your doses might become.

Many people in Ohio have learned this the hard way, when they’ve taken fatal doses of drugs they might have considered harmless.

Treatable Addictions

Ohio drug treatment programs can handle almost any kind of addiction you can think of. According to the Substance Abuse and Mental Services Administration, marijuana was responsible for many of the treatment admissions in Ohio in 2010, but other drugs of abuse included:

Some people develop multiple addictions at the same time, mixing and matching their drugs of abuse in order to create a customized drug-using experience. These poly-drug addictions can be particularly difficult to kick without help, as people may become intensely accustomed to using drugs both to help them wake up and to help them sleep. Ohio treatment centers may be of immense help to you if you’re dealing with a problem like this.

Getting Started

The Access to Recovery program, for example, provides vouchers that can help Ohio residents pay for the addiction care they’ll need in order to get well. Income requirements apply, but this could be a good option for some people in need of recovery services. The Recovery to Work program can help some people find good jobs while they’re working on their addiction recovery, and this could also be quite helpful for you if your addiction has left you unable to find meaningful and profitable work. Ohio even provides an electronic counseling program, known as eCAM, that could help you to learn more about your addiction and take steps to control it, all from the comfort of your own home.
