Alcohol and Drug Use Statistics in Bloomington, IN

Levels of Substance Abuse Care

Indiana offers several levels of care for addiction treatment. Some people start with inpatient care and make their way through the various levels, while others can begin the process with less intensive treatment.

Alcohol and Drug Detoxification

Detox is often the first step, allowing you to move on to formal treatment services once it is complete. It is the process of safely and comfortably removing drugs or alcohol from your system, in a supervised setting.

Inpatient Drug and Alcohol Rehab

Inpatient rehab, also called residential treatment, involves living at a facility to receive 24/7 care. Treatment methods typically include individual and group therapy, medication, and nutritional counseling.

Partial hospitalization programs (PHPs)

PHPs allow you to attend treatment at a hospital while living at home. Treatment services provided are usually the same as inpatient care, but you only stay at the hospital during treatment times, then return home.

Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOPs)

IOPs involve attending several hours of counseling over a few days each week. You spend the rest of your time working, at home, or fulfilling other obligations.

Standard Outpatient

Standard outpatient care is the least intensive treatment option, involving just one to two hours of treatment per week. This option is appropriate for highly motivated people with a strong support system.

Relapse Prevention

Relapse prevention, or aftercare, begins once you complete a rehab program. It includes ongoing support, such as 12-step groups, non-12-step groups like SMART Recovery, ongoing therapy, sober living homes, and more.

Indiana Alcohol and Drug Laws

Indiana lawmakers have enacted the following policies related to substance misuse and overdoses1,2,3,4

Indiana Lifeline Law: This policy provides immunity for the crimes of minor possession, minor consumption, minor transport, and public intoxication for Indiana residents who reveal themselves to law enforcement while seeking medical assistance for a person suffering from an alcohol-related health emergency.

Social Host Liability: Indiana residents can be held liable if they give alcohol to someone they knew was already intoxicated and that person’s intoxication leads to injuries, damage, or death. It is also illegal to knowingly provide a place for minors to drink alcohol in Indiana.

Drinking in Public: In Indiana, it is illegal to be drunk in a public place if your behavior is dangerous, alarming, disruptive, or annoying. It is also illegal to be drunk or high on public transportation or at bus stations and airports.

Involuntary Commitment: Indiana Code 12-23-11.1-1 states that an Indiana resident who is a drug abuser, alcoholic, or incapacitated by alcohol may be involuntarily committed, except for those who are charged with or convicted of an offense that makes them ineligible for treatment.

Good Samaritan and Naloxone Access Law: his combined law is designed to prevent overdose deaths. The Good Samaritan protections provide limited criminal immunity for controlled substance and drug paraphernalia possession for Indiana residents who seek help in the event of an overdose.
 
This immunity is limited to those who call for help and not the person experiencing the overdose. Immunity is also limited to those who have obtained naloxone through the channels outlined in this law, which allows pharmacies and health professionals to provide naloxone directly or by standing order to those at risk of opioid-related overdose and those who are in a position to assist individuals at risk of overdose.
