Midway, Utah - March 28, 2018 /MarketersMedia/

The National Institute on Drug Abuse recently reported 115 Americans lose their lives every day as a result of an opioid overdose. Sadly, this is only one class of drugs that is abused, and there are numerous others. Individuals need to be aware of the signs of addiction in their lives and their loved ones. This includes an addiction to inhalants, alcohol, over-the-counter medications, and marijuana. When a person is suffering from an addiction, Chateau Recovery (chateaurecovery.com) can be of help.

"Addiction comes with high costs, not only for the individual but for the country as a whole. The opioid addiction currently costs the country $78.5 billion a year, and this is only for opioids that are legally prescribed. This figure takes into account lost productivity, the cost of treatment, criminal justice involvement, and healthcare costs and doesn't even take into account the cost of treating individuals addicted to other substances. Obtaining help for those addicted to a substance helps to bring these costs down," Brennan Watkins, spokesperson for Chateau Recovery (http://chateaurecovery.com), reports.

Prescription stimulants, bath salts, and animal tranquilizers are also drugs that may be abused, but many people do not realize this. With the increasing number of states legalizing marijuana, many experts fear more people will become addicted to this drug also, just as many are addicted to alcohol. However, when a person tries to stop using the substance, he or she may experience withdrawal symptoms.

"These symptoms can be very severe. In fact, individuals who have been using illicit opioid substances or prescription opioids need to seek medical attention immediately, according to the National Institute on Drug Abuse because the symptoms of withdrawal can be very severe. A person who does so needs to obtain help once he or she withdraws from the drug to reduce the urge to use again," Watkins states.

Chateau Recovery offers a substance abuse treatment program that makes use of the latest cutting-edge approach and combines this with old-fashioned service. Clients go through a highly-personalized assessment to determine the best course of treatment, and community and experiential interventions may be used. The recovery options are truly flexible to ensure the addict receives the help he or she needs.

"Addiction is a lifelong disease. The only way a person will recover and avoid a relapse will be to use all resources available to him or her and self-manage the desire to use. The facility shows them how to do so to achieve long-term success. Contact us today to learn more about treatment options and whether they are right for you or your loved one," Watkins recommends.
