Springfield, MA Substance Abuse Treatment

S
Springfield is well known as “The City of Firsts,” Springfield, Massachusetts has definitely lived up to that name ever since their founding in 1636. The first American musket was manufactured in Springfield in 1794 when George Washington and Henry Knox created the United States National Armory that is also located in Springfield. They were the first to create the American-English Dictionary, first to use interchangeable parts that were assembled on an assembly line, and the list doesn’t end there. They were also the first to use the first horseless car, the first gas powered car, and also one of the most well-known, the first to create basketball. Basketball was originally put into practice in Springfield, Massachusetts. Springfield is also the midway point between Boston and New York.

Springfield may seem like the most perfect town in Massachusetts but it’s no stranger to drug related incidents; in the beginning of February 2016 there were seven drug related arrests in a three-day period according to the records of the local police department.

What is the Best Way to Stop Using Drugs?

The best way to stop substance abuse of any kind is to admit yourself to a detoxification treatment center. This will cleanse your body of the toxins from drugs and alcohol so that you can begin rehab. You will also be under 24-hour medically managed care. Some substances have dangerous and even deadly withdrawals (alcohol and benzos), so it is highly recommended to be under medical care to stop using those substances.

If you are considering treatment, think about traveling to another city or state for your rehab. Traveling for treatment is effective as it gets you away from all the temptations and stresses that make it difficult to stop using.

You are worth it and if you want to find help, then we will help you find out what the right path is for you. Call us now to start your battle today: (866)578-7471.

It’s hard to go through recovery alone, and even harder to stay accountable by yourself. When you leave rehab, the first thing you should do is joining a group meeting, for the substance of your choice. There you can connect with other people who were where you are. You can also find a sponsor who will help you on an individual level. Also consider joining a 12-step group to help you with your recovery. The benefits of 12-steps include holding yourself accountable, acknowledging we are powerless against addiction and need a higher power to overcome it, and making amends for harms we have caused.
