Substance Abuse Treatment Centers in Georgia Receive Help From Drug News Publication


Georgia has such an opioid problem that the popular show on A&E “Intervention” focused on Cobb County and its part as one of the largest heroin drug rings in America. Communities within the affluent Atlanta suburbs known as “The Heroin Triangle” like Cobb has the state of Georgia ranked as one of the highest suffering from the opioid epidemic. Recent data from the department of health shows 55 of Georgia’s 159 counties had higher drug overdose rates than the U.S. average.

November of 2017 of last year the White House's Council of Economic Advisers estimated that the opioid crisis cost the country $504 billion. Nationally, healthcare workers are now experiencing more than 30,000 opioid-related deaths a year, 10 times as many hospital admissions, and a million emergency room visits.

Experts agree those looking for extended recovery success should enter into a long term drug rehab in Georgia. Short term treatment rarely works for long term recovery. The new Georgia drug information page explains the different options for patient’s including detox, inpatient, and outpatient care for drugs or alcohol. Treatment programs can range from 28 days all the way to 90 days, and aftercare programs that last for up to 12 months. In addition, on-going therapy which can include meetings or counseling can be a part of recovering addicts’ routine forever.
