Chicago has one of the highest rates of opiate drug addiction and abuse in the country. From reported nonmedical use of pain relievers to the number of admissions in Chicago hospital emergency rooms, the numbers are staggering. Its central location in the United States as well as the continent and the high population due to its metropolitan status make it a target of abuse for drug traffickers. Consequently, a number of locals have developed addictions to opioid-based drugs like prescription painkillers and heroin.

Meditox has a center in the middle of Chicago, making outpatient opiate addiction treatment available to residents of the Chicago area, Illinois and surrounding states.

Opiate Drug Addiction in Chicago

There are more than 9.3 million people living in the Chicago area and the DAWN Report  covered about a quarter of that population by researching emergency room admissions at 27 Chicago hospitals. According to DAWN, there were 32,454 visits to the emergency room related to drug abuse. Of these visits, 12,982 were due to heroin abuse and 3599 were caused by pain reliever misuse. In a five-year period, the number of heroin-related emergency room visits increased by 167 percent, more than six times the national rate. In that same period, emergency room visits due to painkiller abuse increased 96 percent with methadone, hydrocodone or codeine use named most often as the cause.

If you are addicted to heroin or opiate-based painkillers, Meditox can help you avoid a trip to a Chicago emergency room. Simply contact us at our Chicago office and make one appointment. We can help you design a personalized outpatient treatment that will allow you to stop taking your drug of choice immediately without experiencing the withdrawal symptoms that usually accompany an opiate detox.

Opiate Drug Addiction Treatment in Chicago and Illinois

There are more than 12.7 million people in the state of Illinois, and its capitol, Chicago, is a major hub and distribution center for drugs like heroin and opioid-based prescription drugs. In fact, its central location and multi-faceted transportation infrastructure make it one of the few cities in the country that gets its heroin from a number of other countries rather than just one. This means that the heroin supply for those who are addicted is relatively constant.

Opiate painkillers are another popular drug of choice in Chicago. Hydrocodone and oxycodone are especially sought after. Valium addiction is becoming increasingly more common, but OxyContin remains the number one prescription drug of addiction. Whether the drugs are procured from rogue pharmacies online, through "doctor shopping," or through loose distribution by health care professionals, the result is the same: opiate addiction.

Getting the Treatment you Need from Meditox in Chicago

If you are addicted to opioid-based prescription drugs like OxyContin and hydrocodone or to street drugs like heroin, then Meditox has a cutting edge treatment that can help you break that addiction and restart your life. Based upon buprenorphine, a drug approved by the FDA for opiate drug addiction treatment, the Meditox clinical team can provide you with a unique outpatient treatment that requires only one in-person visit. During this single appointment, you will undergo a complete medical and psychological evaluation to make sure that the Meditox Method is right for you. If so, we will create a treatment plan that you can implement on your own. Should you need any assistance or support, we are available to you 24-hours a day by phone.

For those living in the Chicago area, our Meditox center in Chicago is extremely convenient. However, those who live throughout the state or nearby in Indiana, Missouri, Nebraska, Wisconsin, Kentucky or Minnesota, we're just a short flight away.
