Addiction, Alcoholism and Rehab
Addiction to drugs and alcohol is a pervasive problem that affects millions of people, not just around the United States, but around the world. Substance abuse addiction doesn't discriminate; no matter your age, race, or class, it can affect you and those you love. The economic costs of addiction alone are staggering, with billions lost per year due to productivity and health costs. And the numerical cost can't be calculated when you think of it solely in human terms, the mental, physical, and spiritual costs of addiction. Countless families are directly or indirectly affected, friends become involved, and workplaces suffer as well. Many addicts report drinking or using drugs on the job, which of course has an effect on business. Often times, those addicted to alcohol or drugs do not admit or realize that they have a problem, and a large percentage never seek treatment for their problems. The Right Step is an addiction treatment center with locations throughout Texas, Louisiana, and New Mexico, and our past residents testify to the success of our program. With the empathetic, professional staff and wide array of offered programs, The Right Step provides the highest quality, affordable, state-of-the-art addiction treatment in a caring atmosphere.
Treatment for Addiction to Drugs and Alcohol
Alcoholism can be defined as a chronic primary illness or disorder characterized by a loss of control over drinking, with habituation or addiction to alcohol that causes interference in a major life function like health, job, and/or family. Roughly 14 million Americans - 1 in 13 adults - suffer from a dependence on or abuse of alcohol. Addiction, in its broadest terms, is a compulsive need for and use of a habit-forming substance characterized by tolerance and by well-defined physiological symptoms upon withdrawal. Addiction can encompass many things, but some of the most commonly addictive substances that people seek treatment for in rehab include alcohol, cocaine, crack, heroin, methamphetamine, and various prescription drugs. However, people can be addicted to other things like gambling, eating, sex, and even shopping. At The Right Step, we focus on the drug and alcohol addictions and effectively treat our residents with detoxification, inpatient and outpatient care, day treatment, a sober living program, and aftercare services. We understand that rehab is the only true way to get over a substance abuse problem, and we have this variety of services because we know everyone is different and responds uniquely to treatment.
