Statistics You Should Know About Drug Abuse Intervention
Call: (877) 245-2384
The number of opioid-related deaths in Arizona has increased by 76% since 2013, according to drugabuse.gov. Furthering this concerning statistic, for every 100 patients seen by healthcare providers, 61.2 prescriptions for opioids were written.
Methamphetamine (meth, crystal, ice) is another huge social issue, with 0.4% of the US population having methamphetamine use disorder.
Alcohol, while legal, is not safe for those who have become dependent on it. Because it is so easily obtainable, many users feel as though they are doing nothing wrong and don’t know the line between use and abuse. The CDC states that one drink per day for women and two drinks per day for men can qualify someone as a ‘moderate drinker.’
Heavy drinking is then defined as 8 drinks per week for women and 15 drinks per week for men. While these numbers are helpful for insight, only 25% of alcoholics ever receive treatment.
While these classifications of drugs cover a wide number of users, they don’t even begin to touch on addiction to other substances such as MDMA, new psychoactive substances (synthetic drugs like bath salts,) and crack/cocaine.
When is Help Needed?
Regardless of the substance in question, when someone becomes dependent on it, their lives change and usually for the worse. Typically, an outsider can identify a number of problems that a user may be facing including legal, financial, and family troubles.
Often, a user will face legal issues directly or indirectly related to their drug abuse. A directly related issue may be a DWI or a possession charge. Indirectly related legal issues may include burglaries or theft that the user would have never committed while sober.
An addict will go to great lengths to obtain their drug of choice. This may mean skipping rent in order to afford their habit, rendering them homeless. It may also mean leaving children alone or in the care of less reputable people.
Sometimes signs of addiction aren’t as obvious as these. They may simply include missing out on family functions, becoming agitated and starting arguments with family members, or lying about their whereabouts.
A professional interventionist helps decide which family and friends are allowed to participate. The type of tumultuous interactions that your family may experience with your loved one is not allowed during an intervention. With an interventionist leading the way, the conversation will be structured and to the point. The number one goal of a drug abuse intervention is to get the one suffering help.
Why Use Drug Abuse Intervention Services?
When you choose to talk to your loved one about their addiction, you will likely be met with anger, hostility, and denial. Their anger may present as disbelief that you would accuse them of using or accusing you of being too nosey.
A user’s hostility may come out when he says inappropriate things, threatens violence, or begins getting physically agitated. This can become dangerous for all parties involved.
Sometimes, the user doesn’t realize they have a problem or won’t admit to it. This is denial. An addict will promise to get treatment if their use starts to become a problem–although everyone else can see that it already has. Other times, a user will flat out deny any substance use at all.
Using a drug abuse intervention service will allow for a counselor to be present when you choose to confront your loved one. This counselor can facilitate the conversation, allowing you to express your feelings & emotions as well as your concern.
The counselor will also give the user a chance to speak for himself but also can help him to identify that there is in fact, a problem and only he can pursue the solution. Having a counselor present will help you to set healthy boundaries and allow you to quit enabling the person you love.
What Happens After a Drug Abuse Intervention?
If your loved one chooses not to attend treatment after an intervention, you will have at least planted a seed of recovery in their mind. You will also learn how your family can love this person from afar instead of continually being hurt by their use and manipulated by lies.
Should your loved one opt for addiction treatment, we will help them find the best facility for their needs. This may be an Arizona treatment center close to home or across the country to remove them from triggering environments.
Additionally, we can help determine if the patient will need treatment for a dual diagnosis–a mental illness that occurs with or because of addiction. Treating both a mental illness and an addiction is important for long-term recovery and can help prevent relapse.
The end goal of using drug abuse intervention services is to help your loved one realize what they are doing to themselves and your family. It is near impossible to quit an addiction on your own and an intervention may help them realize that they have the support they need.
