Alcohol & Drug Rehab Tampa Launches Effort to Reduce Statistics on Heroin Addiction
Tampa, FL (PRWEB) February 04, 2014 -- A Tampa alcohol and drug rehab center has announced that it is launching an effort toward cutting down the number of people that are dealing with heroin addiction issues through Drug Addiction Treatment Centers.
According to a report from the U.S. Department of Health and Human, "In 2012, there were 156,000 persons aged 12 or older who had used heroin for the first time within the past 12 months. This estimated number in 2012 was similar to the numbers in 2002, 2004, 2005, and 2007 to 2011 (ranging from 106,000 to 187,000), but was higher than the numbers in 2003 and 2006 (92,000 and 90,000, respectively). The 2012 average age at first use among recent heroin initiates aged 12 to 49 was 23.0 years, which was similar to the 2011 estimate (22.1 years)."
For an adult or adolescent to get help with their alcohol or drug addiction, first off they must reach a decision to stop abusing their bodies. Then they can go get professional help.
Drug addiction takes people to places and people that they would never be around when sober. Alcoholism touches an individual’s life mentally, physically, and emotionally. Alcohol & Drug Rehab Tampa makes sure people get the help they want and need in order to change their lives. Instead of living by the bottle, alcohol rehab and effective treatment teaches adults and adolescents different life skills. Alcohol addiction can affect anyone, no matter of their age, race, or economic background.
Physical detoxification helps rid the body of alcohol and drug substances. This process can take a few days, and is supervised by the medical staff on board at Alcohol & Drug Rehab Tampa.
After detox, the client will enter counseling. Our alcohol and drug rehab reviews a person’s individual history, looking back at family life, environment and peers. These areas offer opportunities to put a finger on where a person’s dependence upon alcohol and drugs began.
A client will have an opportunity to learn and grow along with others in alcohol and drug rehab. They will not be alone in their search for a life free from alcohol and drugs.
