Step By Step Recovery For Life
Treatment Philosophy
“There is no quick fix for addiction but Clients need quick access to addiction treatment”
The USA is only 4.6% of the world’s total population but consumes 80% of the world’s prescription opiate supply. Read more, click: ABC News
In 2017, over 64,000 Americans died due to opiate abuse.
Substance Use Disorders (SUD) are primary, chronic, progressive, incurable and potentially, fatal illnesses that demand chronic disease medical management for any possibility of long-term recovery.
At RSCT we are very concerned by the current addiction epidemic and rising death rate in patients who are abusing prescription medications and illegal substances. The rates of addiction to alcohol, prescription drugs and illicit substances are alarming. The most successful treatment addresses all of the Client’s challenges by engaging the Client, their family, critical stakeholders and their community relationships.
