Unfortunately, Oregon has many drug problems especially due to its close proximity to the United States and Canadian border where many times prescription pills and pain killers come streaming through. Oregon is home to many drug and alcohol treatment facilities where drug and alcohol abusers may stay in order to address their specific problems. Many drug and alcohol abusers are first confronted by family and friends during a drug and alcohol intervention. Interventions are used as a method for family and friends to come together with the substance abuser and directly confront him or her with the problem. It is the substance abusers choice however to take the intervention into careful consideration or to simply ignore it. Most patients of drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers normally benefit more when they are the ones seeking the help. After the intervention however, hopefully the affected one will join in the process of choosing the best facility to enter. Some of the best facilities especially for recovering addicts and prescription drugs are located in the state of Oregon.
As the patient enters a particular drug or alcohol facility he or she will have the option of a long term or short term stay at the facility. Especially depending on the dependency and type of drug, one should consider carefully how long he or she should stay for. Obviously the more severe the case is the longer the stay should be. Generally after a stint in an inpatient care facility, the same facility will offer the patient out patient care. This comes in handy when the patient is released back into the real world and is confronted with many decisions he or she may not be fully confident to make. Therefore, he or she can always rely on his or her out patient counselor to guide him or her in the right direction AKA away from drugs and alcohol.
The first signs of progress in the program are first admitting the problem and second the signs of withdrawal. While the body is ridding itself of drug and alcohol toxins, it is readjusting itself to a healthy standard of being. This means there will be times where the body is craving these substances and the patient will become irritated, sometimes irrational, and have some sort of physical reaction such as body and headaches, nausea and vomiting. This process can take up to months to overcome and is usually most stressful on heroin addicts because the liver often stores the drug and even though patient has been off of it, the liver can release these toxins addicting the patient over again and starting the recovering process all over again.
After completion of the in patient program, one can move on to the next step which is the outpatient program. Here the patient will have therapy sessions mainly regarding life outside of the rehabilitation walls. The first signs of relapse are when a patient is returning to drug and alcohol hotspots are restarting their relationships with old users. However, with the outpatient program and the love and support of family and friends, there is a high probability that the former drug abuser will not return to these old habits.
