Substance Abuse Stats in Chattanooga, Tennessee  

Located in Hamilton County, the city of Chattanooga, Tennessee, has some alarming substance abuse statistics, including the following:

Opioid abuse continues to be a leading problem throughout Hamilton County.

Choosing Between an Inpatient and Outpatient Rehab

In the case of substance abuse, it is always best to enroll in as intensive a program as possible. Here are the types of treatment programs generally available:

  • Inpatient treatment: This type of treatment ensures 24/7 on-site health monitoring and accountability as well as more convenient access to offered therapies.
  • Outpatient treatment: When rehab must coexist with work and caring for family, outpatient treatment can be an effective option. Outpatient rehab involves more flexible, shorter hours each week.

How Long Can Treatment at Rehab Last?

Generally, the longer you can spend in rehab, the greater your chance of continued success. Patients struggling with substance abuse often devote many months or even years to rehab.

Even though some facilities may offer you the option, don’t be tempted to take shortcuts when it comes to getting clean. No program should be considered that is less than 90 days long. Putting in the initial time and effort will be worth it down the road.

What to Expect at Rehab

Whether you choose inpatient or outpatient rehab, your unique needs will be examined. Quality rehab programs will craft a detox and recovery regimen specific to you. Some basic therapies that apply in all rehab situations include the following:

  • Individual counseling (behavioral): enables deep self-examination with the help of a qualified professional
  • Therapy groups (social): provides a community of like-minded support
  • Medicinal assistance (medical): some select drugs can assist with the alleviation of difficult withdrawal symptoms

When Would You Need to Go to Detox?

You can check your likelihood of uncontrollable substance abuse in the following ways:

  • Listen to friends and family if they express concern. Often, those around you notice something is wrong before you do.
  • Monitor your drug or alcohol consumption levels. If your levels are increasing and you can’t control amounts, you likely need detox.
  • If uncharacteristic behaviors emerge such as feelings of isolation, drastic physiological or mood changes, you likely need detox and should consult a medical professional.

How Long Does Detox Last?

Detox is just one step in the overall rehab process. Successful detox can last anywhere from 3 days to 21 days. Everyone has unique aspects that can significantly influence successful detox rates, including the following:

  • The abused substance: Some drugs (such as stimulants) require a longer detox period.
  • Length and severity of abuse: When large substance levels are present in the body, detox will take longer.
  • Personal health: Low metabolism or poor health will likely slow your rate of detox.
