Substance Abuse Stats in the City of Savannah, Georgia  

Chatham County, which includes Savannah, Georgia, has the 5th highest rate of drug-related emergency room visits in the state. In March 2019 alone, 1,063 people throughout Georgia visited a hospital emergency room due to an opioid overdose. Although this report didn’t specify fatalities by county, it’s safe to assume many came from Chatham County with its known drug abuse problem.

Choosing Between an Outpatient and Inpatient Rehab 

Inpatient treatment involves living onsite at the treatment facility for the duration of the program. Typical program lengths are 28 days, 90 days, or longer. It’s a good choice if you can devote yourself full-time to treatment and need extra support to overcome addiction. With outpatient treatment, you continue to work or meet family responsibilities during the day and attend a program every weeknight. The National Institute on Drug Abuse recommends inpatient treatment whenever possible.

How Long Can Treatment at a Rehab Last? 

People who attend treatment 90 days or longer have the greatest chance of staying sober. While you can attend a shorter program, keep in mind the National Institute on Drug Abuse has researched this issue and found longer programs much more effective. Some people even attend an inpatient treatment program or residential aftercare program for longer than that. People with serious, decades-long addictions may go to treatment indefinitely.

What to Expect at Rehab 

Your addiction is different from everyone else’s. That’s why you need a treatment program that offers an individualized approach. Maybe you need medication and therapy while another addicted person only needs therapy. There’s no right answer for everyone.

Medication can help curb cravings for your drug of choice if necessary. Individual and group counseling help you explore root causes of your addiction and come up with healthier coping mechanisms.

When Would You Need to Go to Detox? 

Detox is an important first step in drug recovery for those who need it. You could be a good candidate for detox if you’re physically or psychologically addicted to drugs and can’t stop using them on your own. You will remain under a doctor’s care the entire time you’re in detox. Treatment centers don’t have the resources to provide this intensive one-on-one healthcare service nor is staff medically trained to do so.

How Long is Detox?

The answer to this question depends entirely on you. If you’re dependent on drugs to function and have used them for a long time, you can expect to remain in detox for as long as three weeks. On the other hand, it may only take you a few days if you abused softer drugs or have not been addicted for very long. In either case, a doctor assigned to your case will supervise you the entire time.
