Substance Abuse Stats in Conemaugh Township, PA

Like many rural townships in Pennsylvania, Conemaugh Township continues to fight an uphill battle against the drug epidemic. 

Local initiatives like medication take-back boxes help keep prescription painkillers off the streets. Still, many people turn to cheaper and easier-to-find heroin in Somerset County. 

Local Somerset County substance abuse stats include: 

  • 16 people died from drug overdoses in 2015
  • The percentage of drug overdose deaths decreased between 2014 and 2015

Even though the trend in Somerset County is downward, there’s still a lot of work to do.

Choosing Between an Outpatient and Inpatient Rehab

Inpatient and outpatient treatment are the two primary kinds of rehab. Both are useful for different purposes. For instance:

  • Inpatient treatment is useful for treating substance abuse when you need extra stability. You may find that it’s too hard to balance life with recovery. Inpatient helps you bridge that transition. 
  • Outpatient treatment gives you a middle ground if you can’t stop attending work or school to go to rehab. You’ll attend part-time and live at home between sessions. 

How Long Can Treatment at a Rehab Last?

Rehab lasts as long as it needs to last! There’s no concrete end date that works well for every client. 

Instead, you’ll work with your care team to choose a rehab stay that’s right for you. 

Research shows that 90 days of treatment is the shortest length that works. When you leave rehab before three months have passed, your risk of relapse increases. 

The bottom line? Stay in rehab long enough for the best results! 

What to Expect at Rehab

At rehab, you’ll engage in therapy and activities to help your body and mind recover. Some effective choices include: 

  • Cognitive-behavioral therapy: This kind of therapy examines your thought patterns and challenges them. This can help you learn new strategies for coping without drugs. 
  • Group therapy: 12 Steps and Narcotics Anonymous are two common support groups for addiction. 
  • Medication: Some clients may benefit from using medication to control their cravings. Suboxone is a common drug used for this purpose. 

When Would You Need to Go to Detox?

You should go to detox any time a medical professional recommends it. You may need to attend detox before starting rehab. 

The signs you need to go to detox include: 

  • Addiction or dependency
  • Difficulty controlling your drug use
  • Inability to stop using drugs
  • History of relapse 
  • Withdrawal syndrome 

There’s no shame in needing to go to detox. This important step helps set up your recovery success. 

How Long is Detox?

Detox can range in length from 3 days to 3 weeks. The most common detox programs are 5 to 7 days in length. 

However, it’s common for detox centers to offer 14- and 21-day programs too. 

Your detox length depends on: 

  • Your drug use history
  • Your health and metabolism
  • Your medical history
  • Prescription drugs you’re taking 

You can’t predict some of these factors, such as your metabolism. But your local detox center can come close with enough information about your history.
