Drug & Alcohol Rehab Centers In Michigan

MI Substance Abuse Facts

Misusing drugs and alcohol can lead to a number of negative consequences such as health problems, crime, addiction, and death.

In Michigan, the misuse of opioids continues to be a major public health concern. Consider the following statewide statistics:

• In 2014, there were 4 million more opioid prescriptions written than in 2007.
• In 2014, there were 745 million prescriptions written for schedule II drugs, compared to just 180 million in 2007.
• Hydrocodone is the most prescribed drug in Michigan, accounting for 32% of all prescriptions written.
• From 2009 to 2012, the overdose rate was 12.3 deaths per every 100,000 Michigan residents.
• More than one-third of Michigan residents who died of an opioid-related overdose had doctor shopped in the past year.

Visiting multiple doctors in order to receive new prescriptions, or “doctor shopping,” is just one warning sign that you may be heading down the path to addiction.

Getting Addiction Treatment Help

Substance use disorder is characterized by a compulsion to continue using drugs or alcohol despite harmful consequences such as physical and mental health problems, financial hardship, legal troubles, and close calls with overdose or other near-fatal accidents.

Through evidence-based methods such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and motivational interviewing, addiction can be managed and treated over the long-term. Treatment can occur in a variety of settings, including inpatient residential facilities, outpatient office visits, 12-step programs and other group meetings, intensive outpatient services, and partial hospitalization programs.

Where Else Can I Find Help?

If cost is a barrier to treatment for you, you are not alone. Millions of Americans need addiction treatment every year and do not receive the proper care because of cost and other factors.

However, there are many ways to finance your rehab and get the care you need and deserve. For example, many centers offer sliding scale payment plans that allow you to pay what you can based on your income and financial circumstances. Other centers may offer financing so that you don’t have to pay the entire cost upfront.

As you research rehab centers, ask about programs or scholarships for low-income, uninsured, or homeless individuals, depending on your situation. Other options you could consider to help cover costs include:

• State-funded rehab centers.
• Crowdfunding platforms like GoFundMe.
• Seeking a personal loan from family or friends.
• Applying for a healthcare loan or credit card.
