A recent study by Columbia University found that more than 15 million Americans are currently abusing prescription drugs, with a mind-blowing 2 million of those people being teenagers. With a full 6% of the population abusing prescription drugs, researchers have found the most effective means of helping these abusers come clean. The first step is an intervention. The second is to be admitted into treatment. While the drug rehab options vary, statistics show that a 6 month to 1 year long commitment to an inpatient facility will greatly increase the chance for success with the likelihood of relapse decreased.
Being a presciption abuser my self, I would do anything to find another scipt to abuse. Coming to a long term treatment center helped me to get to where I am at today. I couldn’t have done in an in and out treatment center. Today I am comfortable with myself, happy with where I am at and am enjoying life to the fullest.
