The Need for Comprehensive Addiction Healthcare in Austin
Austin, along with the rest of Texas, has been beset by a variety of substance abuse threats that have led to overdose fatality, accidental deaths and a decline in health and quality of life among residents and communities, alike. A significant driver of these issues has been an individual and collective inability to access quality and comprehensive care. When an individual in recovery is forced to forego basic lifesaving medical services, their risk of relapse is significantly increased, which, in turn, creates chaos in their own lives as well as their families and communities. CARMAhealth is looking to reverse this trend by filling an urgent need for seamless and integrated medical treatment. If you or someone you care about needs addiction healthcare in Austin, TX, we’re ready to help you.
