Opioid Epidemic

The death associated with opioid addiction became a serious concern in the health field in the 1990’s. Dubbed the “opioid epidemic,” the tragic deaths associated with this form of addiction climbed as high as 450,000 between 1999 and 2018 alone. Today, thousands of people throughout the country struggle with an addiction to opioids daily.

The Legacy Healing Center team understands the stress and embarrassment associated with opioid addiction. In numerous cases, our staff has dealt with the consequences of addiction, or they’ve had someone who has gone through similar experiences. We work with you personally to develop a treatment plan that will help you recover, but also help you achieve lifelong sobriety.

Our dedicated medical professionals will monitor your vitals around the clock to make sure that you don’t suffer from severe withdrawal symptoms. Once you are done with detox, you can begin to focus on the next step in your journey.  

What Opioid Rehab Is Like

When you come to Legacy for treatment, you can expect to take part in a variety of activities that will help you to heal physically, spiritually and emotionally. Our personal trainers are available for individual workout sessions while one of our counselors is always happy to speak to you about your spiritual needs. However, a main feature of your recovery will be participating in different forms of therapy. Individual, group, behavioral and family therapy are examples of the different types of counseling that we offer at our facility.  

How Long Does Opioid Rehab Last?

The length of your stay at Legacy is a personal choice that you need to make. Before you finalize your decision however, we recommend that you take the time to speak with one of our counselors to determine which duration option would be best for you.

Our treatment programs are as short as 30 days or can last as long as 90-days. If you begin an initial 30-day program, you can always opt to extend your treatment plan to our 60- or 90-day program simply by speaking to a member of our team.
