Help with Drug and Alcohol Problems in Tupelo, MS

Someone who has a problem with drugs or alcohol will generally be the last person to admit it. In fact, denial is a key factor in addictions. This is why addicted people often have to go through an intervention, which can be organized by anyone who cares about them, or by government bodies, such as drug courts.

Once they have indicated their willingness to seek help, they will first undergo detox. This is a period during which their body becomes "clean" and get rid of their physical addiction to their chosen substance. This should, at all times, be medically supervised, as it is generally accompanied by significant and uncomfortable withdrawal symptoms. During this time, there is a strong chance that they will return to their substance as a way to avoid the symptoms, and  they could overdose as a result.

It is after detox that the rehab treatment will start. Depending on the individual's unique needs, this can be offered on an inpatient or outpatient basis. Other variations include partial hospitalization and intensive outpatient treatment. During this time, clients receive intensive therapy and counseling. This includes individual and one to one therapy, group therapy, and where appropriate, family therapy. Depending on the rehab center, individuals can also receive supplementary therapy, such as art or equine therapy. However, this is usually only offered in private and luxury rehab facilities, which are obviously a lot more expensive.

Once rehab has been completed, patients will undergo aftercare. This continues for as long as they need it, which may even be the rest of their life. Aftercare is in place to ensure that they are supported to stay on the road to recovery, even if and when they relapse.
