me Provides Recovery Options to Adolescent Opioid Abusers

Los Angeles, CA, July 11, 2019 --(PR.com)-- No demographic group is immune to the nation's current
opioid epidemic. Hundreds of thousands of young Americans misuse opioids annually as the percentage
of overdose deaths continue to rise. RehabNear.me was introduced as an online resource for the
individuals suffering the effects of substance dependency including the adolescents and their friends and
families seeking the proper medical treatment for opioid abuse issues. Visitors need only visit
https://www.rehabnear.me for more information on their inpatient and residential rehab options and then
dial 855-227-9535 to be connected with a trained specialist who can help place them on the path to
recovery.

According to the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services (HHS), “In 2016, 3.6 percent of
adolescents ages 12-17 reported misusing opioids over the past year. This percentage is twice as high
among older adolescents and young adults ages 18-25 with the vast majority of misuse due to prescription
opioids.” The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) also, “Estimates, that for every young
adult overdose death, there are 119 emergency room visits and 22 treatment admissions.”

The reasons vary. The HHS has reported that “Adolescents often are initially exposed to opioids through
prescriptions” with “nearly half of adolescents ages 12 to 17,” saying that the medications were either
given to or bought for them by a friend or relative. Acute chronic pain, depression, and other health and
family issues are just some of the other contributing factors that can lead to the abuse of opioids and legal
prescriptions containing fentanyl, codeine, and morphine.

But there is better way. Treatment is the best option for addiction recovery and achieving wellness at any
age with the proper medical support. That is because few can do this on their own. It takes the care,
supervision and support of friends, family and the proper treatment from accredited and trained medical
professionals.

Because the problem is so complex, rehab programs differ according to the needs of the patient and their
specific form of addiction. Identifying the appropriate therapeutic technique is as important as locating
the ideal facility for each individual. The goal of RehabNear.me is to help every visitor achieve and
maintain long-term sobriety with the proper certified care and treatment no matter if they're struggling
with drugs, alcohol or both.
