Substance use disorders and narcotics addictions are prevalent throughout the United States, and it is estimated that over 2.1 million people within the U.S. have an opioid use disorder alone and need addiction treatment.1 Many refer to the prevalence of opioid use disorders as an epidemic, causing thousands of fatalities per year and tremendous suffering within many communities.

HOW DO I KNOW IF I NEED ADDICTION TREATMENT?

If you are considering drug treatment, try to answer any of the following questions:

• Is the continued use of a substance causing you distress?
• Is it too hard for you to stop using drugs on your own?
• Has substance use been the cause of tension or conflict between you or those you are closest to or live with?
• Have you wanted to stop using for some time but just couldn’t find the strength to stop using?

If you answered yes to any (or several) of these questions, seeking narcotics addiction treatment is a good step for you to take. Call 800-407-7195 to speak with a rehab specialist about your options.  For more information, visit Narcotics
