Long Term Residential Drug Rehab Treatment in Oregon

Even though the substance that most people in Oregon are addicted to is alcohol, there are still plenty who indulge in drugs frequently enough to be considered a drug addict. In 2004, there were 45,073 Oregon residents admitted into various substance abuse programs. Of that number 2.3% freely admitted to being addicted to cocaine, while another 6.4% claimed a heroin addiction. Yet another 15.3% were admitted for a pot addiction. Numbers like these are why it residential drug rehab programs are so important to the state.

In addition to helping people get over their dependency on drugs, the rehab centers are also good for the state. The higher the number of residents that are suffering from some type of addiction, the higher the state’s unemployment rate and poverty level is going to climb. When the addicts have gone through one of the state’s treatment programs they will be cleaned up and able to work again and take care of their families. The more the state is able to decrease the number of drug addicts there are on the streets, the less drug related crimes there are going to be in the state. As the crime rate decreases, more and more people are going to want to move to the area. So basically, making sure that the drug addicts get the help they need is a win-win situation.

It does not matter how many residential drug programs there are in the state, if no one can afford to attend them, they do not do any good. That is why so many of the residential programs are authorized to use Medicaid to help offset the cost of the treatment. When a person cannot afford to finance their drug recovery, the state and federal government pitch in, making sure that everyone has an opportunity to get the help that they need.
