Magellan Health Services Drug Rehab Treatment Center
Drug addiction is a complex disease that takes more than good intentions or willpower to overcome. According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), drug abuse fundamentally changes brain chemistry in ways that make quitting more difficult. For this reason, many individuals who try to quit drugs by going “cold turkey” are unsuccessful. Some may even have a brief period of sobriety before relapsing. The right drug rehabilitation program can make it easier to end the cycle of substance abuse and take the first steps to sobriety. Magellan health services drug rehab treatment center coverage can help make this treatment affordable and accessible to you or your loved one.
