Substance Abuse Treatment Center Of The World

Attention Getter: Imagine 60,000 people in one city, all dealing with the same problem, addiction. According to an article written by Carter M. Yang for ABC news on March 14th of this year, there are 60, 000 people in Baltimore alone that are addicted to illicit drugs. These numbers are disheartening and unfortunate. I can relate to every one of these people struggling with substance abuse, because I am an addict. A program called Narcotics Anonymous has

The need for a substance abuse recovery home in Starke County, Indiana is a need that is unmistakable in the county based on the hefty number of individuals that suffer from substance abuse and dependency in the county which is clearly displayed by the recent number of crimes that are related to or involve illicit and prescription drugs. In attempt to meet this need and create an opportunity for individuals suffering from substance abuse and dependency to receive local substance abuse treatment in a recovery home the proposal will be presented to several stakeholders within the Starke County community. The term stakeholder “refers to those people who are affected, or could be affected, by the service” (Canadian Career Development Foundation, n.d.) that is being proposed. The proposal for the creation of a substance abuse recovery home will be presented to five key stakeholders including Ms. Becky Anspach the director of Community Services of Starke County, Starke County Community Corrections director of operations Mr. Robert Hinojosa, Ms. Dee Lynch the director of the Indiana Department of Child Services of Starke County, Porter Starke Services facilitator of intensive outpatient program treatment (IOP), and Ms. Rhonda Adcock the director of Starke County CASA.

The author feels that rural areas are drastically underserved by addiction treatment centers. The surgeon general said, “If you focus on prevention, some programs get up to $64 in return for every dollar invested” (Wolf, 2016). Medicaid-assisted treatment with guidance and counseling programs would greatly help rural areas. The government spends $27 billion in health care expenses. The author feels with prevention and addiction treatment centers specifically placed in rural parts of America, will help save government spending, reduce insurance costs and save many

Residential drug treatment programs provide the drug addict/abuser with the necessary tools they need to combat their substance abuse addiction, enabling them to get back on the right path and live a productive, successful, and drug-free life. The length of residential drug treatment varies from one month to one year; therefore, the policy should specifically state the length requirement. If I were the new director of a residential drug treatment facility, the policies will be analyzed, reevaluated, and the necessary changes made to ensure the programs were effective.

There are various care settings wherein substance abuse therapy services are provided. This include primary care clinics, urgent care center or the hospital’s emergency department, freestanding substance abuse treatment or mental health facility, intensive outpatient and partial hospitalization programs and acute care inpatient settings. The American Society of Addiction Medicine (ASAM) developed a clinical tool called Placement Criteria, Second edition, revised (PPC-2R), to match patients’ care needs for substance abuse detoxification and the suitable care environment. Placement determination is evaluated according to

When looking at the issue of substance abuse, one might ask why it seems that many people tend to struggle with overcoming substance use disorders. It often seems like patients in this particular field of healthcare tend to use substance abuse treatment facilities like revolving doors, but why is this? If one were to look into the amount of research done on substance abuse, studies can be found that date back to the 1800’s, and probably even further if they dug deep enough. If there has been hundreds of years worth of research done on this topic, why hasn’t there been an effective treatment found that works? What causes patients to remain in the so-called “system” of substance use, abuse, and

The names of the speaker was Stephanie Stout, which included Madison Nabors, and Dale Nabors, they all share employment at Life Core a facility for adults with substance addiction. Stephanie is a Peer Specialists that help clients recover from their addiction.

In Georgia there’s a program called the Residential Substance Abuse Treatment (RSAT) and it is offered to state prisoners Formula Grant Program (42 U.S.C. 3796ff et seq.) It avails states and units of local regime in developing and implementing residential substance abuse treatment programs within state and local correctional and detention facilities in which prisoners are incarcerated for a period of time ample to sanction substance abuse treatment.

Boom; that is the sound of a car hitting a tree head on. One of my friends where in the car, he couldn’t move after the split second of terror. He was lucky to be alive. He was only a teen 14 year of age and didn’t know what to do. Luckily someone called 911 and if they would have got there any latter he probably wouldn’t be here today. When the ambulance arrived on the scene he had lost a lot of blood. He couldn’t do anything about it because he couldn’t move. When he got to the hospital they had to amputate a leg and he wasn’t too happy about it but he gave in. He regrets drinking and driving to this day and wants every teen to know to stay away from alcohol till they are of age. This is why teen alcohol abuse is an epidemic because of people

You have lived in your dream home that you designed for over twenty years. It is in a middle class tree lined family neighborhood. You have raised five upstanding children, two who are still living at home. You find out that a drug and alcohol rehab center has bought your neighbor’s home and plan on putting 16 people who are recovering from drugs and alcohol in this home. What is your reaction? Do you have any say in the matter? What do the laws say? Most of us do not worry about this situation or ever think it can happen to us. It can and it does. Under the Americans with Disabilities Act or the ADA guidelines a drug user who is currently participating in a

It would be quite a challenge to try to find a more beautiful outdoor community than Cape Coral, Florida (FL). With its waterway canal systems, exotic birds and floral environment, the city is both a great place to visit and live. One of the drawbacks found within the city's borders is the presence of drug addiction problems that seem to be a part of the overall culture throughout the state.

Due to waterway access for the import of drugs, the state of Florida has long had a reputation for drug trafficking and abuse. The Pew Research Center released a study in 2012 that showed Florida had an astounding 126,000 drug arrests on the year. Further analysis indicates

Meth has become a normal piece of news in Muncie, Indiana. When someone searches “Muncie, Indiana problems” the first hit is “Meth Crisis.” When people think about starting a family or even just relocating to another city or town, they search the statistics and news of the various cities. If the first thing they find out about one city is that it is number one for its large per capita number of meth labs in Indiana, that’s not going to persuade anyone to move there. Without new residents and current families moving away, the ripple effect becomes a vicious cycle, taking away jobs, especially the “mom and pop” stores which rely on local customers. Meth also brings in a huge problem with violence, as any drug would. Reasonable people don’t want to be around violence. They do not want their families injured or even killed because of someone else’s problems. In fact, they don’t want their family members even exposed to the issues that meth directly and indirectly contributes to. According to the Indy Star, "They (those who operate a meth lab) were stripped down and given those clean suits to wear; that way they don 't contaminate a police car or City Hall or anywhere they have to go." Having dealt with the chemicals makes one toxic enough to contaminate everything within its presence, imagine all the people who are not caught but continue to be out in the town. It could be the grocery store or a restaurant, a hardware store or a public restroom, they could be touching everything

Lack of funding for drug rehabilitation programs is one of the most significant problems related to high recidivism rates, especially as it relates to the rural counties of Tampa. Therefore, in order to combat the current drug epidemic, all counties (rural and metropolitan), must make allocating state and/or federal funds to drug rehabilitation, and mental health programs a top priority.

The community understands it will bring jobs, but they are not ready to display that there is an issue with substance abuse in their town. When developers come to the area “they present the community with a picture of how bad things are, with statistics to prove it, and offer a solution that is often brilliant, expensive and a little hard to wrap their thinking around” (Steele, 2010). We as a community don’t want to hear that there really is a problem happening in our
