Wyoming Rehabs

The Equality State is the least populated state in America, with fewer than 600,000 residents. Much of the state is reserved for the wonders of nature. Between the national parks—Yellowstone and Grand Teton—and the monuments, forests, wildlife refuges, and fish hatcheries, the US government owns nearly half the land in the state, giving residents endless possibilities for hiking, fishing, and exploring. This is a state where the spirit of the West lives on.

Sadly, residents frequently find themselves grappling with addiction. Reports used to determine drug abuse indicators find Wyoming rates often exceed the nationwide averages. Though methamphetamine abuse continues to be a serious problem, the rates of prescription drug abuse are rising. Between 2004 and 2005 only five Wyoming residents overdosed on prescription drugs; in 2012-2013 that number rose to 116. The need for addiction treatment services is plain.

Causes & Signs of Drug Abuse

When people begin using drugs, they do so for a variety of reasons, including wanting to party, self-medicating anxiety or mood disorders, and treating chronic pain. It is never someone’s intention to become an addict. But, regular use does frequently lead to the developments of physical and psychological dependence.

If you are concerned that someone you love has an addiction, it can be difficult to confirm your suspicions because people are secretive about substance abuse. But, you should be on the lookout for the following.

Financial difficulties
Poor performance at school and/or work
A lack of attention to personal hygiene and grooming
Erratic behavior
Change in sleep habits
Social withdrawal

Wyoming is experiencing an increase in prescription drug abuse. Though there are a few types of prescription drugs that are abused, the most common type are opiates, like codeine and fentanyl. A person with an addiction to prescription opiates will often be drowsy. Thinking and concentrating will be difficult, and they will frequently be confused. If you have a loved one that is showing these signs, your concern is justified.

Choosing From Many Wyoming Rehabs

Accepting that you or a person you love needs professional addiction treatment is simply the first step. The next is determining the type of treatment that would be best suited to your needs and goals and finding a rehab in Wyoming that offers it.

Give some thought to the following factors:

Detox

The first stage of any treatment program is always detoxification, the time during which all alcohol and drug use is ended and the sub stances are naturally filtered out of the body. For people with addictions to benzodiazepines, alcohol, and/or opiates, this can be a fatal process. A rehab in Wyoming that provides the care of a medical staff and round the clock monitoring will enable you to safely detox with as little discomfort as possible.
Inpatient or outpatient

After detox, you will either transition into inpatient or outpatient rehab. If you have obligations in the home and/or workplace that won’t allow you to live in a residential facility, a strong outpatient program is the obvious choice. However, depending upon the severity of the addiction and your recovery history, you may need the intensity of an inpatient Wyoming rehab center. Living at the facility will allow you to dedicate all of your energy and focus to your recovery.
Treatment interventions

Some treatment methods are offered at all treatment facilities. Support group meeting attendance and participation in behavioral therapy (in a group, individual, or family setting) are consistently effective. But, the degree to which other forms of therapy are valuable depends on the individual. If you or your loved one feel a great connection to animals, participating in pet or equine therapy could be perfect. Yoga and mindfulness meditation are excellent for people who enjoy holistic care and alternative medicine. Think about who you are and how you respond to activities before settling on a Wyoming rehab center.
