Take Your First Step

In 2015, more than 165 people in Arkansas entered inpatient treatment for opioid addiction. ¹ That same year, Arkansas saw over 400 drug-related deaths, equating to just over 13 people per 100,000 dying from overdose that year.¹ With rising numbers of overdose deaths fueled by the opioid crisis, it’s more clear than it has ever been just how dangerous it is to abuse drugs, even prescription ones. However, once dependence and addiction take hold, it can be incredibly difficult to stop using. This is where treatment comes in. You can be one of the thousands of people that begin their recovery each year by searching now for rehabilitation services in Arkansas, West Memphis, or other surrounding areas.

Here are some indications that you might need treatment for addiction:

• You’ve tried to quit or cut back but you haven’t been successful.
• You use much more than you originally intended to.
• You have begun to neglect your personal responsibilities due to your substance use.
• You’re experiencing professional problems, relationship trouble, or health issues due to your substance use but are unable to stop.
• You get intoxicated prior to partaking in activities that could be physically hazardous like driving.
• You have to keep upping your dose to feel the effects.

Another sign that you may need help is going through withdrawal when you try to stop or cut back on your substance use. An indicator that you’ve become physically dependent on drugs and/or alcohol, withdrawal can come on quickly and strong, depending on the specific substance and how long you’ve been using it. In fact, for many, withdrawal keeps them from quitting even when using is no longer fun and is causing them severe distress. Fortunately, many rehab programs offer medical detox where you can be kept comfortable and safe under the care of a qualified medical team.
