If you suspect or believe you have an alcohol or drug problem
Help is available. Addiction is a disease and it can be treated. If you are concerned, you can contact a treatment provider for a screening. You will be able to talk with a professional who will ask questions and make recommendations about treatment and support, if needed.
Understanding Drug Abuse and Addiction
Involuntary detention means that a person did not choose to go to treatment. Sometimes a court finds that the person needs help and it would be better for that person to be in treatment. There are laws to help protect this person and the situation must meet certain conditions before detention can happens.
Sometimes you have cravings that seem so strong. As part of your treatment, you might also take medications. These medications are prescribed by a physician or psychiatrist. Medication Assisted Therapy is not a cure, but a tool that is used in treatment. You don’t have to take medication and not all persons need it. If you decide to use medication, it will be a part of your treatment plan.
