Drug Rehab

North Carolina is a pretty typical state when it comes to the need for drug rehab centers. The illicit drug use is basically on par with the rest of the country, if not even slightly lower. There are a fair number of rehabs to choose from, spread throughout the state, with varying options of types of treatment.

Of course the largest pools of drug rehab centers in North Carolina are in and around its largest cities, such as Asheville, Charlotte, Durham, Greensboro, Raleigh and Wilmington. Usually, before considering location and cost, you must decide what type of treatment to pursue.

The majority of people seeking help for substance abuse wind up going to an outpatient program, though this might not always be the best. Many do so because they have other barriers preventing them from entering an inpatient drug rehab center, which is where they would rather be. If you have the option, one thing to remember is that with an inpatient center you can have a more concentrated effort to combat addiction in a single setting that is hopefully a distraction-free environment. Whether it initially lasts for a few weeks or a few months, a residential program is typically associated with higher chance for success compared to similar addictions at an outpatient center.

The primary drugs used at time of treatment admissions in North Carolina include marijuana, cocaine and prescription drugs. There is a relatively low use of heroin, thought in some cases that is rising as people dependent on painkillers seek something stronger and cheaper.
