The United States is in crisis. Our country is nearing 1 million deaths in the war on drugs started 50 years ago.
Between 1999 and 2019, 841,000 people died of an overdose in America. Over 60,000 people died in 2019 alone. And while those numbers might look staggering, the CDC updates indicate that between October 2019 and October 2020, 90,000 people died of an overdose or complications connected with an overdose. That’s an additional 30,000 people in a year’s time.
Alabama is also struggling with addiction. Current CDC data indicates that Alabama has seen an over 27% increase in overdose related deaths from 2019 to 2020. An analysis of the 50 states and the District of Columbia has determined that Alabama has the highest number of law enforcement by state. Alabama also has the highest number of opioid prescriptions written in the country and is ranked in the bottom 5 of education about and accessibility to rehabilitation.
In 2019, Alabama EMS reported approximately 700 overdoses per month, 418 occurring in the Birmingham area alone. The Alabama Drug Use dashboard indicates that white males ages 21-40 are 8 times as likely, in some cases, to require hospitalization from overdose.
Shelby County arrest records indicate that over 300 arrests were made in 2019, in relation to narcotics and within those arrests 90% were for possession. The drug crime rate in Birmingham is just over 3 for every 1,000 people.
The Alabama Department of Mental Health indicates that between 2019 and 2020, the rate of individuals has decreased significantly across all substances. Ranging between 1,000 and 2,500 people less in the last year, when addiction overdose is at an all-time high.
Additionally, the ADMH indicates that there are only 210 rehabilitation centers in the state available to the people in Alabama. This is the equivalent of 23,000 people to 1 rehabilitation center.

Deciding on the type of rehabilitation to attend is a deeply personal decision that should be based on individual needs, circumstances, and objectives. Here are some factors to consider:
Substance or Condition: Different rehab facilities specialize in treating specific substances or conditions. Whether you’re dealing with alcohol, opioids, or a mental health condition, ensure the rehab center you choose has a robust program and experience in that particular area.
Inpatient vs Outpatient: Detox and Inpatient rehabs require patients to live at the facility during treatment, providing a comprehensive and structured approach. Outpatient rehabs allow patients to continue living at home, attending therapy sessions during the day. Your choice between these two may depend on the severity of your condition, your support network, and personal and professional responsibilities. There are also multiple different outpatient levels of care that include Partial Hospitalization program, Intensive Outpatient Programming, and Outpatient rehab.
Treatment Approach: Consider the approach to treatment the rehab center employs. This could include cognitive-behavioral therapy, holistic treatments, 12-step programs, medication-assisted treatment, or a mix. Choose a facility that aligns with your beliefs and preferences.
Length of Treatment: The duration of programs can vary from short-term (30 days) to long-term (90 days or more). Discuss with professionals and consider your personal situation to determine the optimal length of your rehab.
Cost and Insurance: Ensure the cost of treatment is manageable, whether through insurance, out-of-pocket, or financial assistance.
Location: Some people prefer a facility close to home for the support of friends and family, while others find a fresh setting aids their recovery.
Aftercare Services: Recovery doesn’t stop after leaving rehab. An effective rehab facility should offer aftercare programs to help you transition back to regular life and maintain long-term sobriety.
Credentials and Reviews: Research the facility’s accreditation, the qualifications of staff, and reviews from past clients.
Remember, it’s okay to reach out and ask questions to the rehab centers you’re considering.
