Have you ever heard of the expression: “There’s no time like the present?” How about this one? “He who hesitates is lost.”
These are old proverbs which have meaning today, especially when it comes to when to seek treatment for Substance Abuse Disorders, like Opiate Addiction. If one waits, for whatever reason, to get into treatment; it may very well be too late for their life to be saved from an unintentional overdose. There is currently a horrible scourge of Opiate Addiction in our country. In fact, over 100 Americans die every day from drug unintentional overdoses, the majority of which are from Opiates.
Folks with drug problems are very good at thinking of excuses why to not seek treatment sooner rather than later, and can often come up with every excuse in the book. Like: “It’s not that bad yet.” “I know I need help, just cannot do it right now.” “I’m not the only person taking drugs. Why would they harm me?” And lots of others.
But facts are facts. In this case, the facts say that seeking out treatment for drugs saves lives. We also know, that postponing treatment for drugs, for any reason, increases one’s chances of suffering a fatal overdose.
Another fact is that there is now excellent treatment available for Opiate Use Disorder. At The Drug and Alcohol Detox Clinic of South Mississippi, one can receive state-of-the-art treatment for Opiates. This involves Medication Assisted Treatment, also known as Replacement Therapy using a medication called Buprenorphine, also known as Suboxone. Suboxone, which has been available since 2000, for many, is a “Miracle Drug.” That’s because Suboxone reduces the cravings for Opiates, so a person is not preoccupied with thinking all the time about Opiates. Suboxone saves lives, vs the other Opiates which cost lives.
Do yourself a favor and do not wait, but call today The Drug and Alcohol Detox Clinic of South Mississippi at 000.000.0000. Or on the web. You can pay a visit to Facebook page for more information. There’s Still Hope!
