GA TREATMENT FACTS

Though rehab should almost always take place in a professional treatment center, you may require 24-hour care––or not––based on the severity of your condition.
Opioid addiction recovery can often be improved by implementing support group meetings into one’s treatment regimen.
According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse, exercise is an important part of addiction recovery and can actually be utilized as a treatment method. It helps to minimize issues with anxiety and depression, often associated with addiction, and to reduce negative feelings and stress.
Those with environmental, biological, or developmental risk factors are more likely to become addicted to opioids after abusing them. However, anyone can fall victim to addiction.
Substance abuse treatment should often be followed up by an aftercare program in the form of booster sessions, a sober living home, support group meetings, or another option.
