With the state not funding them they have to charge people or sometimes the owner have go in there own pockets to make sure they center have what they need. Second challenge would be since the state will not fund them and a lot of people don’t have health insurance, they have to be turn around because they can’t afford to stay at the center or they don’t have family who will pay for it. The last challenge will be how to get people from coming back to the center. The reason I say that because some people leave rehab center and end back in the next two or three months, so they job at center is trying to find ways so the people won’t come …show more content…

Questions
Q: What made you come here
B: the reason I came here because I have a drug problem, where I get very frustrated and angry I tend to turn to crack and cocaine to solve my problems.

The center combines a safe housing environment with structured educational programs that incorporate the philosophies of Alcoholics Anonymous and Narcotics Anonymous. Alcoholics Anonymous is the original self help group founded on principles that provide support and encouragement for recovering alcoholics. New members are encouraged to work with a spon...
Narcotics Anonymous is a group that has taught me many values. They have twelve values, twelve traditions, and twelve steps. As a group we learn to accept all of the above for mentioned beliefs. There is what you call a home group. That is your main meeting session with your sponsor, (if you choose to have one which is recommended), sharing time, to talk about whatever you choose i.e. your day, if there was a relapse, a stressful day, and just trying to talk to others who understand every struggle we have on a daily basis to stay clean.
Alcoholism is as prevalent in my family, as blood is in our veins. When previously asked to observe 12-step groups, I ritualistically flocked to Alcoholics Anonymous, without consideration of the possibility that other groups had any potential to make an impact on me. I always pride myself in my ability to identify as an individual that is not ensnared in alcoholism, but unfortunately am an individual that was highly tormented by alcoholism. Through observation of the group and how it processed, as well as identifying how I felt as a new attendee, I was able to understand why self-help, support groups are so vital for individuals in recovery. I finally realized, I too am in recovery.
individuals and their families, and provide information about effective community-based interventions such as Alcoholics Anonymous meetings.

However, rather than treating an addiction like a disease, society treats addiction by stigmatizing the person like a failure, and criminal. Those who suffer with this disease, both the addict, and their friends and family, are usually isolated by judgment and embarrassment from others, who are unaware and ignorant to the issue. As a result, the disease sadly often goes unrecognized and untreated, especially among the poor, and those who are unable to get proper treatment. Once again, I am very happy after attending my second meeting, and it has an overall great experience. I wish more people were open to meetings to see how great and beneficial they are to all kinds of people, and this summer that is my goal to open others up to attending meetings that could help benefit
In conclusion, there are many different characteristics, descriptions, and resources out there for substance abusers. If one educate this population on the resource that is available and making it affordable then substance abuse treatment centers would increase like Health People 2020 would want it to be. The community needs to be willing to promote awareness for substance abusers.
Substance addiction is becoming an epidemic. While some people can quit using a substance without any help, most people need help to their recovery. Narcotics anonymous is an important support group for our society. There are many different narcotic anonymous programs to join that have meetings throughout the week. The members of the support group all share one thing in common, they suffer from different types of chemical dependency. Members help each other because they have the same problems and worries that everyone in the room has. Though they may be struggling with different stages in their life, for the most part, they all relate to what each is going through. Just as AA, NA focuses on the 12-step program. The members of
For example, Al-Anon is a widely known organization that helps youths handle their situations (Al-Anon Family Group). Their goal and mission is to reach out to kids whose lives have been affected by a parent’s drinking habits (Al-Anon Family Group). Majority of the groups within Al-Anon are kids ranging from ages thirteen to eighteen (Al-Anon Family Group). Another common support group for children is the Live in Love organization. The vision for Live in Love is to be a support network where children can break the cycle of alcoholism through hope, care, and education (Live in Love). The main focus is to provide an environment that allows adolescents of alcoholics to turn their energy into positive community service (Live in Love). Their belief is that early intervention and support can protect children and build lifelong resilience (Live in Love). I recommend researching groups within your community that you may want to be apart of, and that will also be beneficial in helping you with your
The problem that I will be addressing is the drug epidemic that is severely affecting Ohio. I have learned a lot about this widespread problem. From the programs I have been apart of such as: Ohio Teen Ambassador Board sponsored by the Attorney General's office,Sandusky County Crime Prevention Summit, and volunteering with recovering homes.
In her article Kristin Mitchell said that “The average cost of someone in the program is $32,974 compared to the $64,338 needed to send him or her to prison for 25 months, or the average prison sentence for drug offenders. Though the treatment in prison can help them while being there. In prison, they have classes where they talk about how you got into jail and how many times you been in jail for the same thing(which is drugs , alcohol, etc) and what can you do to fix it. They help you get better, every time you have that chance to go in there everyone has the chose to talk about how they got into their addiction. In prison they have no choice but to go to the treatment. When they are out of prison, however, they have choices that they must make and many people fall back into their old habits. Treatment centers offer more choices. For this reason, treatment centers provide a more realistic solution to the problem of addiction
A situation that involves nursing based on the family as a component of society includes a man, his wife, and two daughters. This man was admitted to the hospital for an alcohol problem that required treatment. The wife and daughters were suffering emotionally from this man’s illness and wanted him to seek help to better himself. As the nurse, I offered support to the family and provided information for community assistance along with resources regarding Alcoholic anonymous. According to Timco, C., Cronkite, R., Kaskutas, L., laudet, A., Roth, J., Moos, R. (2015.), Alcoholic Anonymous is used to create a better way of life with less stress. This is what this family needs in order to continue to function as a family. A few months later, I ran into this family and heard what a success their family has been due to the use of community resources. This family feels their lives are on the right track now and feel they have this man as a husband and father instead of the drunkard he used to
There are several accidents and stories we hear because we are such a small community. These are the things I would like our program to prevent and fix. The program will be called Allow Life to Thrive, Don’t Drink and Drive. It will be a program that meets once a week, for six months. This will give us plenty of time to help restore victims of alcoholism and bring them back to their regular everyday lives, without alcohol taking over anymore. We all know a family member, friend, or acquaintance that has suffered from alcoholism whether they like to admit it or not. A lot of the people that suffer from alcoholism do not get the help they need and it creates problems in relationships, friendships, and everyday life. This is due to the alcoholics only wanting one thing, one more drink. Together we can help Licking County and restore people’s lives back to reality, and let them have more to their day besides being dependent on alcohol. Overall, the issues that we face as a community do not only affect the alcoholics and their family and friends, but it also affects all of the other people that they pass and encounter while they drive intoxicated. These things I have stated are what I have high hopes that my program will prevent and put an end
