Addiction Treatment In Laurel, MS

To overcome addiction, treatment should be readily available, accessible, and individualized to meet your unique needs. Addiction isn’t what defines you. You have your own set of needs, triggers, cravings, feelings, and possibly medical or behavioral disorders making matters worse.

Look for a drug and alcohol center that compassionately recognizes these facts. Vertava Health Mississippi offers care in Southaven for those in need.

Drug Detox Programs Near Laurel

A detox may seem routine based on what you’ve seen on TV. But every detox is dangerous. Your body has become dependent on a drug. Taking the drug away causes withdrawal symptoms that can even be fatal.

So, consider a medically supervised detox program. In a medical detox program, doctors and nurses monitor the process, support you, and may even give you medications to ease symptoms of withdrawal.

Inpatient Addiction Treatment Near Laurel

While in inpatient treatment, you’re in the care of skilled professionals 24/7. This prevents access to drugs or alcohol during this critical time when you may not be able to control your impulses. Staff and peers will also guide you on a journey toward recovery.

During your stay, you’ll attend both one-one sessions with several therapists who use different therapeutic strategies. You’ll also have the moral support of others in the program who have addictions. You’ll share similar experiences and practice techniques to prevent relapse.

Continued Care Treatment In Laurel

People in inpatient care need constant support and supervision. But those in outpatient have shown that they can manage their addiction well enough to do so at home with the strong support of family. You’ll continue to attend therapy while practicing what you’ve learned at home.

Aftercare & Alumni Services

Addiction is a chronic disease like diabetes or high blood pressure. Just like those diseases, you need a lifetime of care to stay in recovery. So look for a rehab program that offers you aftercare and alumni support, which may include outpatient counseling and 12-step support.

Length Of Addiction Treatment

If you’ve been in a 30-day program before, you may need a longer program to prevent relapse.

In addition to 30 days, a drug treatment program may be:

  • 20 days
  • 60 days
  • 90 days
  • 120 days
  • A year or even longer

How To Pay For Treatment

Most people gather the money from multiple sources like:

  • private health insurance
  • Medicaid
  • family members
  • crowdfunding
  • grants
  • payment plans
