Missouri Offers Different Drug Treatment Programs

Missouri’s nickname is the “Show Me State,” and President Harry Truman often referred to his home state in this way. It is unclear how the state earned this nickname; however, most Missourians will agree that it accurately describes their tendency to not be gullible or easily convinced of something.

Whether or not this is actually true of Missouri residents, it is possible that those who are facing decisions about either entering a drug treatment program themselves, or finding one for a loved one will want to find out as much as possible about different programs.

One Missourian may need information on an alcohol treatment program. He or she may ask a number of questions, which may include which facilities offer both inpatient and outpatient programs, whether or not the detoxification and/or withdrawal phase must be accomplished before entering a program, and similar questions.

Those who conduct reputable programs should welcome all questions and scrutiny. So much of the recovery process depends on a person’s attitude toward and acceptance of the guidelines and regulations set forth in the program.

Facility directors can reassure both the person seeking treatment and loved ones by being direct and forthcoming with information on the different aspects of a program. This will alleviate any initial suspicions or doubts which may exist, thus paving the way for more possibility of success.

We have information on alcohol and drug treatment help in Missouri, and will be glad to share it with you, loved ones, or anyone else who is interested. We respect those who embody the “show me” attitude that many Missourians possess, and welcome questions.
