According to information that has been drawn from  Treatment Episode Data Sets by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, in New York in 2004 alone there were 284,258 drug rehabilitation programs, alcohol rehab programs, and addiction treatment programs. More than 28 percent of these drug rehabilitation and detoxification admissions were for alcohol addiction with a secondary drug, or a dual diagnosis. Treatment for only alcoholism ranked in second, and heroin drug abuse ranked third, each with 19 percent of total admissions in 2004. Fourth and fifth ranks went to cocaine and marijuana respectively.

In New York, there is a variety of different addiction recovery and drug rehabilitation centers, but one of the problems that people run into is wondering which of these treatment centers is best. Which alcohol rehabilitation program will provide the best opportunities for recovery? Which drug rehab facilities will have the greatest number of resources, and the best twenty four hour support? The best answer to this question is actually relatively straight forward – Rely upon an addiction treatment professional for the guidance that you need, and you will succeed.

An addiction recovery professional will have the tools and resources necessary to match your personal addiction treatment needs with whatever services can help you recover. This may include finding a drug rehab facility that is familiar with specific needs, or one that has a community that will be friendly with a certain characteristic that you identify with. For example, if you are looking for a dual diagnosis treatment program for alcoholism and drug abuse, an addiction recovery professional will know how to find the right one. If you are looking for an all female treatment facility, or a GLBT friendly drug rehabilitation facility, it can be found for you.

The primary goal of all New York drug detoxification and rehabilitation facilities is to completely remove all toxins from the body following a long battle with drug abuse or alcoholism. One of the safest and one of the most effective forms of drug rehabilitation or alcohol rehabilitation is a medically based program; relying upon medications to lessen the symptoms associated with withdrawal from the drug or alcohol. Each of the rehab facilities in New York is going to have its own unique take on drug rehabilitation and detoxification, so it is important to explore your options first.

Keep in mind that the addiction recovery process is a two fold process: The first part of the process entails drug abuse or alcoholism withdrawal, which can be a long and arduous process if you do not seek help from the professionals. The second part of the process has to do with learning new healthy habits and other practices that will allow you to rise above your prior drug and alcohol abuse, preventing relapse or reoccurrence from getting the best of you. If you are ready to turn your life around, there is bound to be a New York addiction recovery program out there that meets all of your needs.
