Becoming sober is about more than just addressing addictive behaviors. It’s about pairing both a medical and a healing approach that results in a comprehensive lifestyle change. Find both sobriety and complete holistic wellness through Crest View Recovery Center’s individualized drug rehab program in Asheville, NC.
By the third quarter of 2019, more than 5,000 visits to emergency rooms in North Carolina received an opioid overdose diagnosis. In 2018, an estimated 79% of drug overdose deaths in our state involved opioids. Though the number of opioid-related deaths has been decreasing recently, these are still alarming numbers.
Although opioid abuse is an extreme issue in our region, it’s not the only addiction tearing our community apart. Alcohol addiction has affected people of all genders, races, and ages (even minors) in North Carolina. A study done in 2017 found that about 30% of adults reported binge drinking (4+ drinks for women, 5+ for men). Additionally, more than a quarter (27%) of high school students admitted to at least experimenting in the same year.
Substance abuse can also trigger the development of psychiatric illnesses in those prone to them. When this happens, addicts might start suffering from co-occurring disorders – also called a dual diagnosis.
Those living at the mercy of these addictions can find help and overcome these statistics with the right rehabilitation and treatment programs. At Crest View, we can save North Carolina lives together.
Sheer willpower is not enough to beat most drug addictions. Withdrawal symptoms alone will tear anyone down. Just over 10% of individuals who are addicted to a drug seek help. Being part of that 10% is not a sign of weakness. It’s a sign of the strength to show up and take your life back from addiction. Courage isn’t quitting cold turkey, it’s being brave enough to seek help.
The first step in understanding the need for professional treatment is to acknowledge alcohol addiction as a chronic disease. When the need to drink no longer becomes a choice, a dangerous path lies ahead. Our reality-based rehabilitation approach goes beyond the addiction itself and equips you with concrete tools and coping mechanisms to take with you.
You will have the most success in beating your addiction by starting your recovery journey with our drug rehabilitation program. Expect to spend at least 35-45 days working closely with our counselors, therapists, psychiatrists, and other experienced staff — many of whom are also in recovery — to dig deep into the root of your addiction.
Drug Rehab at Crest View includes full 8-hour days of intensive clinical care paired with evening activities centered around your specific treatment goals here in Asheville, NC. This level of structure, combined with spacious housing accommodations, promotes a high level of accountability for long-term strength and sobriety.
