Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between abuse and addiction?

What is the difference between abuse and addiction?

Drug abuse, also referred to as substance/chemical abuse, is a disorder characterized by destructive patterns of using any chemical substance, including alcohol, leading to significant problems or issues. Individuals who abuse drugs and alcohol still have control over their lives. On the other hand, an inability to stop using a drug and failure to meet work, social, or family obligations identify drug addiction or dependency. Physical dependence alone does not constitute addiction, but it often accompanies addiction.

How do I know if I need rehab?

How do I know if I need rehab?

If you experience withdrawal symptoms after you stop taking a drug or consuming alcohol or your physician instructs you to stop doing drugs or drinking for your health, you should seek treatment. If you have lost your job, your spouse/life partner, alienated friends and other family members, or have continually experienced negative impacts on your life due to drug and alcohol abuse, seek treatment. Once you develop an addiction, quitting drugs or alcohol by yourself is almost impossible, and if you are like most people, drug rehab is the only thing that will save you.

What is a detox period?

What is a detox period?

Detox is a process or period in which one abstains from or rids the body of toxic or unhealthy substances, such as drugs or alcohol, to become physically stable, detoxification. The detox period comes during the first stages of treatment and can last from 3-5 days as the body clears itself of the toxins and chemicals abused.

Why is treatment after detox important?

Why is treatment after detox important?

After detox, which StepOne treats over a 3 to 5-day period, you should continue with some form of addiction treatment to learn coping strategies for maintaining sustained sobriety. You will need services like individual therapy, group therapy, family counseling, a recovery program and relapse prevention training, and behavioral modification and life skills classes. This phase may take place at a residential treatment center or outpatient facility.

What is the first step in getting treatment?

What is the first step in getting treatment?

The first step you can take to get your loved one into a drug rehabilitation center is, to be honest with yourself and others. To begin this process with StepOne, we start with a telephone pre-screening. We will identify the need for admission into our center during the pre-screening process, the patient’s dedication and commitment to receiving treatment, and begin a specific and individualized recovery plan.

Does insurance cover treatment?

Does insurance cover treatment?

While each case is different, StepOne accepts most insurance plans. Our Care Coordinators will assist you with determining if your insurance covers treatment and facilitate billing accordingly. At this stage, recovery is the most crucial focus.
