Substance Abuse Stats in the City of Macon-Bibb County, Georgia

Macon-Bibb County in Georgia continues to struggle with a changing drug scene. Not surprisingly, the area leads the state in a number of sobering substance abuse statistics from 2017, which is the latest information available. These include:

  • A total of 90 overdoses — 49 in an ER and 41 in a hospital — were reported.
  • Twenty-two total overdoses: 15 were from opioids and 7 from heroin
  • Most of the deaths involved individuals between 25 and 44 years of age.

Choosing Between an Outpatient and Inpatient Rehab

Inpatient rehab is the preferred treatment method for nearly everyone who struggles with substance use disorder. It provides you with the structure, stability and access to care that you need to be successful during recovery.

For those individuals who have responsibilities at home that would make it difficult for them to go away for treatment, outpatient rehab provides a viable alternative. Typically, sessions are scheduled during the morning and/or evening hours so it’s convenient for busy adults.

How Long Can Treatment at a Rehab Last?

The length of time treatment can last is a highly individualized factor. In general, the longer you go to rehab, the more successful you’ll be at recovering.

According to research, 90 days is the shortest length of time that’s recommended for rehab. It’s important to remember that 90 days is considered to be the minimum length of time you should plan.

What to Expect at Rehab

There is no one typical experience that everyone has at rehab. This is due, in part, to the fact that the best rehabs always tailor their treatment plans to meet the needs of each individual.

In nearly all cases, rehab is a combination of medication and therapy. This provides the best chance of success. Both individual and group therapy are typically offered. In many cases, both are recommended.There are some medications that can help with withdrawal symptoms.

When Would You Need to Go to Detox?

You might need to go to detox if any of the following are true:

  • You find yourself thinking about how or when you’re going to use drugs or alcohol again.
  • Your substance use is causing friction in your life.
  • You’ve tried to stop using drugs on your own but you couldn’t.

Detox is an important first step in drug treatment. It’s crucial that you go if your care team recommends that you do so. Otherwise, your recovery could be compromised.

How Long is Detox?

The length of detox depends on various factors with three days being the typical minimum. In some cases, detox can last for 21 days or longer.

Some factors that can affect the length of time you’re in detox include:

  • Your metabolism and overall health
  • The type of drug you use
  • How much of the drugs you use
  • The length of time you’ve been using drugs
