MO TREATMENT FACTS

Opioid addiction requires professional treatment because long-term opioid abuse changes the way the brain works. The patient must relearn how to control their impulses for opioid abuse as well as beneficial coping skills they can use instead of substance abuse.
According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse, “Research has shown that methadone maintenance is more effective when it includes individual and/or group counseling,” as treatment programs that utilize both pharmacological and therapeutic methods are usually the most successful rehab options.
Some people choose luxury treatment programs for their recovery from opioid addiction. These programs often provide additional comforts such as hotel-like accommodations and gourmet meals.
However, if you are concerned about cost, you can even find 24-hour inpatient rehab programs for free, especially if you have a low income or another issue preventing you from being able to pay for treatment (Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration).
