Unlike the common cold, addiction is more than just a medical condition. Why wait to be in complete hopeless despair, stigmatized, marginalized on the edges of society, alone in a gutter? At Plateau Addiction Treatment Services we take the disease concept seriously. Since the ‘Minnesota Model’ has helped so many people over the years, we’ve based our preventative care on the same system.

You might be asking yourself, how does one prevent addiction? “Just Say No,” doesn’t work. By 1964, insurance began to cover treatment, but not prevention. The American Medical Association names alcoholism a treatable illness in 1963. The disease is literally outside waiting in the parking lot doing push-ups, waiting for you to become chemically dependent. Now, you can enjoy the same excellent level of care so many others in recovery have benefited from since 1939 and the first publication of Alcoholics Anonymous’ Big Book outlining a program of 12 Step recovery.Įven if you’ve never picked up a drink or a drug before, our Prevention Addiction Treatment Services knows that addiction strikes at any time. In fact, substance abuse professionals have been advocating reaching addicts at lower bottoms, sometimes decades before they become full-blown addicts. You shouldn’t have to wait to hit rock bottom. “If I wait until I develop a chemical dependency, it might be too late for me.” – Mia Who- Ohio “Substance abuse is one disease I don’t want to catch.” John Q. “I don’t want addiction to happen to me.” Jane Doe- Nebraska Plateau Addiction Treatment Services understands that addiction is a disease that nobody wants to have to suffer from.
