New York is a state that’s synonymous with culture and is the central hub of American creativity. Unfortunately, it’s also a state that is facing a growing drug crisis. The Drug Policy Alliance in New York, NY, has attempted to shift the focus away from punitive measures against those addicted to drugs and Alcohol and to make it an issue of public health and safety. Groups like this advocate for a larger number of diverse rehab facilities, and more resources for those struggling with addiction. Addiction is a very serious disease and seeking help can be the difference between life and death.

Treatment Options

There are generally two types of rehab options—inpatient and outpatient options. Inpatient facilities are residential and allow the addicted person to stay in a supervised and highly therapeutic environment for up to 90 days. This is the best option for those who have a difficult time with detox or who suffer from an addiction with a co-occurring with mental illness. Outpatient treatment provides intense therapy but doesn’t require the addicted individual to live there for any length of time. This is a less expensive option and can be successful if the patient has strong will and determination.

Choosing to get Help

For someone in active addiction, an intervention involving friends and family can help to motivate them to seek treatment. It’s important to understand that no one can reach recovery unless they truly want to. An absence of drugs in the body is only the first step towards recovery— proper treatment will address the reason for drug use and can help people suffering from addiction to learn healthy coping skills. Developing a community support system, along with peer counseling, will aid in the maintenance of recovery long after treatment has ended.
