evidence of the currently Atlanta opioid crisisOpioid deaths are on the rise. Abuse of prescription pain pills is on the upswing, too. Young adults are among the most vulnerable. A good example is the current extent of the Atlanta opioid crisis.

How Bad is the Opioid Problem in Georgia?

As noted by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, the only thing between you and a deadly opioid overdose is Narcan. And you’ll need a massive dose. At this time, the State of Georgia is in the top 11 for opioid overdose fatalities. Also, it’s not only painkillers any longer.

Experts recognize that opioids frequently become gateway drugs for opiates such as heroin. CBS 46 talks about the heroin triangle that’s just a few minutes outside of Atlanta. People are dying every day from abusing the drug. The odds are good that there’s a higher dark figure of unreported non-fatal overdoses, too.

What Should You Do If You’re Part of the Atlanta Opioid Crisis?

Maybe you started with a prescription painkiller. You might have gotten it entirely legally. Or, you might have started asking friends for their leftover pain pills. After a while, you needed more.

You might have moved on to heroin. It’s easy to get and cheaper than prescriptions. But it’s a dangerous drug. You want to quit.

Some young adults have tried to undergo addiction treatment in Georgia. However, some inner city rehab facilities aren’t working well for them. Some are too close to dealers and former peer groups. Others don’t specialize in the treatment of young adults.

Travel for Rehab to Undergo Specialty Treatment

Did you know that there are addiction treatment programs that work exclusively with people in the young adult demographic? Traveling to rehab isn’t new. It’s common among executives and others who need to put distance between themselves and peers. But it’s also a good choice when your local facilities just don’t provide the care you need.

Examples of specialized modalities include:

  • Gender-specific treatment– This treatment focuses on your innate strengths and needs.
  • Trauma treatment– This can help people with unresolved issues, which still affect them to this day
  • Dual diagnosis assessment and treatment– This program helps participants with co-occurring mental health disorders
  • Psychotherapy– This helps with understanding why you started using drugs in the first place
  • Group therapy– This therapy provides encouragement as well as an introduction to accountability

Facilities catering to young adults typically also offer experiential therapies. Examples might include eco-therapy, gardening, and wilderness excursions. You have the opportunity to interact with peers in recovery. Doing so introduces you to healthy interactions without drug use.

In fact, you practice living a sober lifestyle. In the process, you apply the coping skills that you’ve learned during psychotherapy. You find ways to work around triggers. In short, you gain confidence in your newfound sobriety.

Don’t be part of the Atlanta opioid crisis any longer. A few hours up the I-95 N, you find Red Oak Recovery. Call 866-457-7590 today to connect with an intake counselor.
