When using illegal drugs, there is no way to know for sure what you are ingesting. Fatal overdoses have become all too common in San Antonio, most recently with a case that gained national attention with the imprisonment of an arrested fentanyl dealer.2 One pill can contain doses that are not safe for anyone to take. This is how they become fatal.
For those who have become addicted to drugs in the San Antonio area, there is help available through professional medical detox programs, like the ones at SARC on Culebra or Cagnon Road.
Admitting that you have a problem and getting help are important first steps. Signs that detox may be right for you include:
Addiction impacts every part of your life, including health, finances, relationships, and work or school. Admitting a problem exists can be the biggest hurdle to getting help. Professional help is available in San Antonio and beyond. Trying to detox on your own is not recommended, especially with a severe addiction. A much higher rate of success exists when one goes through a medical detox supported by professionals with multiple layers of support through medical staff, peers, and family. SARC’s two medical detox programs in San Antonio have a wide range of programming with both holistic and evidence-based therapies.
Therapeutic modalities used as part of a medical detox program include:
After a medical detox is completed, an outpatient or residential treatment program will be the next step. Both options can provide you with the continued treatment and recovery you need, depending on the level of addiction and the flexibility needed.
Recovery is for life, so aftercare services are available in a variety of ways. This could be through a 12-step program, regular therapy, or sober living programs. SARC provides a professional treatment environment outside of a hospital setting, where you can receive treatment in comfortable, peaceful surroundings.
In addition to medical detox, SARC offers residential, intensive outpatient, partial hospitalization programs, outpatient, and alumni programs.
Drugs are all too prevalent in the San Antonio area due to how close the city is to the Mexican border, where a majority of illegal drugs enter the country.3
