The United States is dealing with a widespread opioid addiction. This epidemic wreaks havoc on families regardless of their economic status, education, or geography.
Often, those suffering from addiction, whether it be opioids, drugs and alcohol, or a combination, seek treatment in inpatient drug rehabilitation centers. Some are court ordered stays, others are paid through private insurance or government assistance. Despite addiction problems or a criminal record, you still have all the same rights to quality medical treatment.
Inpatient drug facilities are medical treatment centers. They are regulated by the Department of Health and must provide a level of care consistent with both written guidelines and community standards. If you or your loved one is injured or dies while receiving inpatient drug treatment, you do not need to suffer in silence. You need a strong advocate who holds mental health and drug rehabilitation centers responsible for their negligence and misconduct.
