ALCOHOL
According to The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) Alcohol is by far the most used substance in America. Through significant promotion of alcohol use on social media and entertainment venues, alcohol abuse has become a problem across the country.

Opioid Addiction
Almost 136 people die every day from opioid overdose in the United States. Opioid overdoses were labeled an epidemic by The Center for Disease Control (CDC) in 2011.
While there have been measures taken recently by both local and federal government entities, opioid addiction remains a problem.
Opioid Addiction
Prescription opioids are generally prescribed to treat moderate to severe chronic pain as the chemicals in the drug help relax and calm the body. However, these effects are what lead to opioid abuse and eventually addiction, even when taken as prescribed by a doctor.
What Are Opioids?
Opioids refers to a class of drugs that are derived from the opium poppy plant. Some opioids are made directly from the plant while others are created in labs using the same chemical structure. The opioid class of drugs includes both illicit substances, like heroin, as well as prescription medication, such as oxycodone.
2 Types of Opioids
The opioid drug class encompasses a long list of substances, some legally prescribed by a doctor, some illegal.
PRESCRIBED OPIODS
Opioids, even when prescribed, can cause your body to become dependent and alter your brain chemistry.
Prescribed drugs include:
- Oxycodone
- Hydrocodone
- Codeine
- Fentanyl
- Morphine
- More
ILLEGAL OPIODS
Illegal Opioids are often cut or mixed with other drugs making them more than just opioids.
However, Illegal Opioids include
- Heroin
- Opium
The Addiction Behind Pain Killers
Opioids activate a series of receptors on nerve cells commonly called opioid receptors. By activating these receptors, the brain is unable to perceive pain and boosts a person’s sense of pleasure.
Cause of Abuse
In terms of pain management, opioids are a common solution due to how they react with the body. As opioids fill the receptors, the normal feeling of pain is blocked and replaced with feelings of pleasure. These changes are what cause the strong abuse potential among opioid users.

MEDICATION ASSISTED TREATMENT THERAPY
Medication Assisted Treatment Therapy is an evolving addiction treatment option that incorporates prescribed medications to manage cravings, and talk therapy to confront the underlying causes of addiction. Most of the medications are intended to help clients remain in treatment longer and slowly taper off of them as clients confront their issues in talk therapy. There are a wide variety of MAT medications available including: Vivitrol, Suboxone, and Methadone, to name a few.
PAYING OUT OF POCKET
Some people that pay out of pocket, take out personal loans, or receive help from friends and family. Recovery is an investment in your future. Whether you utilize your own finances, government programs, or help from loved ones the outcome will benefit you for the rest of your life.
Another option for paying for rehab is taking out a personal or medical loan.
INSURANCE
Thanks to government regulations, insurance companies can no longer turn anyone away who need addiction treatment. However, how does this affect paying for rehab? It simply means that insurers must pay for a portion or all of the rehab expenses. In essence, they must offer coverage for addiction recovery like they do for any other mental health condition.
