What To Expect From Drug And Alcohol Rehab Programs

Forbes Health

The 2020 National Survey on Drug Use and Health found that 40.3 million Americans aged 12 and older reported having a substance use disorder (SUD) in the past year[1]. SUDs are treatable conditions that negatively affect a person’s health and social function. An individual generally loses control over their substance use, whether alcohol or drugs, and requires treatment to manage the cognitive, behavioral and physiological symptoms that accompany the condition.

One treatment option for individuals with SUD is a drug and alcohol rehab program. Learning more about rehab programs, including how to find one and what to expect before starting treatment, may help an individual find more success on the road to recovery.
