3 Tips for Finding Help for Opiate Addiction

Recognizing the need to find help for an addiction to opiates is the first step on your road to recovery. No one chooses to become addicted, and the impact of addiction can affect more than just the person with a substance use disorder.

Opiates like heroin can take control of a person’s life, leading to financial concerns, problems with the law, strained relationships, and even death caused by overdose. Individuals addicted to opioids like heroin often feel detached, numb, and helpless, and isolate themselves from friends and family.

If you are ready to get treatment for an addiction to opiates, or if you think a loved one has a substance use disorder, there is hope for recovery. When people enter recovery, they learn new ways to deal with the problems that may have led to their addiction through treatment, counseling, and support.

If you’re ready to get help and gain control of your life again, our provider network can help! Here’s how to find a recovery option that works for you.

2.  Learn more about our recovery partners

If you are looking for specific information about treatments, when to start treatment, or how to obtain an intake packet, contact the agencies in our provider network. These provider agencies also have policies and procedures in place to protect your confidentiality throughout the recovery process, and will only disclose personal information in extreme cases or emergencies. Many of our provider agencies also offer “same day access” for individuals with a substance use disorder, and will work with you to schedule treatment services around your schedule, whether you are looking for inpatient or outpatient rehabilitation services.

3. Paying for treatment

We understand that you or a loved one may have financial barriers to seeking treatment. That’s why we have service contracts in place with many of our providers to offer a continuum of care. This way, regardless of your ability to pay, treatment is still possible. If you have health insurance, make sure your health insurance company covers the recovery organizations that you choose. If you don’t have health insurance, you may qualify for Medicaid coverage depending on your income.
