Not sure if a drug or alcohol intervention in Tennessee is right for your loved one? Call us to find out how different types of interventions can be performed to get the addict's agreement to get help.
Geographically, Tennessee is unique because it is bordered by eight other states. The interstate and state highway systems crisscross Tennessee's four major cities and traverse each of its borders. These highways carry a very large volume of traffic and are a primary means of moving drugs to and through Tennessee. As a result, the drug situations in the neighboring states have an impact on the drug trafficking, availability, and abuse in Tennessee. Tennessee is predominantly a "user" and transshipment state, not a major source area for any drug except domestically grown marijuana.
Our drug intervention specialists are expert at addressing the situation with the addict as well as the family to help determine who shoudl be involved, how it the situation should be approached and what the best overall way would be to help get the addict's agreement to enter into a drug rehab program.
Has the addict already been to treatment before? This is a common problem. Unfortunately there are many addiction treatment centers that have very low success rates. We can help you find a more effective drug rehab program to inrease your loved one's chances at staying drug-free and get them to realize that there is a way out.
An imortant piece of information for you to have is that, contrary to popular opinion, alcoholism and other drug addiction is not an incurable disease. People become cured from this ailment every single day and never go back to using drugs or alcohol. In addition, giving substitute drugs to addicts will never solve the problem. Sure, a prescription here or there might temporarily treat the symptoms and make them feel better, but their body and mind will still be dependent on drugs to function in life and they will therefore always be looking for drugs as a solution to life's problems.
