Find Help: Treatment for Alcohol and Other Drugs
in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, and Surrounding Areas
Abusing alcohol and other drugs can damage people's health, destroy
relationships with family and friends, and ruin careers. Do you suspect
your drinking is not quite "social" but perhaps has crossed the line
and is out of control? Maybe you're too embarrassed to bring it up
yourself; or, in the case of a relative or friend, maybe you feel
you'd be interfering if you got involved.
So why make the effort? Because you care. You care about yourself and
what is happening to you. You care about your friend or relative. Here
are some concrete suggestions about getting help for yourself or another,
remembering you can't deal with this disease of alcoholism or addiction
alone:
- Learn the facts about alcohol and other drugs.
- Know the warning signs.
- Talk to your relative or friend.
- Track down people who can help.
It takes firmness and persistence to help yourself or persuade
another to seek help.
When it comes to problems with alcohol and
other drugs, help comes in many forms:
- Inpatient Treatment:
Inpatient treatment is a residential approach to treatment where
the client resides in a treatment facility during the course of
treatment. Inpatient treatment can be short, medium, or long-term
and usually involves intensive counseling as well as other services
that support recovery
- Outpatient Treatment:
Outpatient treatment is non-residential, although partial residential
programs are also included in this category.
- Emergency Help:
This category includes immediate help, such as emergency services
and helplines.
- Self-Help Groups:
Local contact information for Alcoholics Anonymous (AA), Al-Anon/Alateen,
Narcotics Anonymous (NA), Adult Children Of Alcoholics (ACoA), Nar-Anon,
and Step to Freedom (Christian-based).
