<div style="clear:both;"></div>There are more than 13,000 drug rehab programs in the country, but only a small number of them are non-hospital inpatient centers.  In fact, according to the National Survey of Substance Abuse Treatment Services, nearly 90% of people attending a drug rehab program in 2005 underwent outpatient services, while only 7% enrolled in long term inpatient care.

Part of the problem with this is that there simply aren’t enough beds at inpatient <a href="http://www.addictionhelpservices.com/drug-rehab.asp">drug rehab programs</a> for the people who need them.  One reason is because insurance companies try hard to divert people to outpatient programs, and people are more willing to try what their insurance will pay for than try to get the best help possible. 

Another problem is the scarcity of inpatient centers in some areas.  The government funding for drug rehab programs is often based on populations, so there are plenty of scenarios where a more rural area has very limited bed space despite possibly having a higher ratio of substance abusers than a more urban locality.

So what does somebody do when they’re trying to find an inpatient center?  Well, you can contact us at Addiction Help Services, and we can help locate inpatient drug rehab programs around the country.<div style="clear:both; padding-bottom:0.25em"></div><p class="blogger-labels">Labels: <a rel='tag' href="http://www.addictionhelpservices.com/blog/labels/drug addiciton.html">drug addiciton</a>, <a rel='tag' href="http://www.addictionhelpservices.com/blog/labels/drug rehab programs.html">drug rehab programs</a>, <a rel='tag' href="http://www.addictionhelpservices.com/blog/labels/substance abusers.html">substance abusers</a></p>

<div style="clear:both;"></div>1,200 Massachusetts drug offenders are currently enrolled in the special "drug court" sessions where defendants are given one last chance: Commit to <a href="http://addictionhelpservices.com/">drug addiction treatment</a> -- and to intense supervision -- and you'll stay out of jail. Started in the 1990s, it is a program with a demonstrated record of success -- addicts who participate re-offend less often, and stay sober longer.
 
The program grew out of a realization that simple incarceration of offenders with drug addiction issues had been a proven failure. As the number of drug addicts responsible for criminal acts grew -- by 1997 about 70 percent of those arrested for crimes nationwide were acknowledged drug users -- government and court officials arrived at a consensus that more drug addiction treatment was a better answer. With federal support, some 1,700 drug courts have been established across the country.

<div style="clear:both;"></div>A year ago David Fetterer’s life was plunging further and further into desperation as a result of his marijuana addiction. But instead of giving up and losing his wife and children, he cheeked into a drug rehab center and beat his addiction.  Now he is one of five Pennsylvanians who are being honored for turning their lives around.
Fetterer said he owned up to the realization he had a problem and entered a drug rehab program in July last year. It was the first time he had attempted to quit his abuse. He said he hopes others who are in a similar situation will admit they have to make a change in their life and make the decision to enter a <a href="http://www.addictionhelpservices.com/drug-rehab.asp">drug rehab program</a>. 

“David is on the road to being debt-free in a marriage with honesty and trust in a drug-free environment,” commissioners Dave Cyphert, Donna Hartle and Donna Oberlander said. “He is truly a success story.”
