Tomar esta decisi\u00f3n ha sido abrumador. Y puede resultar muy frustrante no saber qu\u00e9 hacer a partir de aqu\u00ed.<\/p>\n<p>Si no sabemos a d\u00f3nde acudir o a qui\u00e9n recurrir, es posible que decidamos olvidarnos del asunto y volver a consumir sustancias o alcohol. Es probable que se produzca un tira y afloja en nuestra mente si no estamos seguros de querer dejar de consumir sustancias o alcohol. Quiz\u00e1 pensemos que solo queremos hablar con alguien. Puede ser dif\u00edcil dar el primer paso. Puede ser muy molesto que nos digan \u201cno\u201d o que haya una larga lista de espera despu\u00e9s de decidir buscar ayuda.<\/p>\n<p>Habr\u00e1 personas que nunca lograr\u00e1n cruzar la puerta para buscar ayuda, y otras morir\u00e1n antes de poder hacerlo. Pero no tenemos por qu\u00e9 ser una de esas personas. Hay esperanza. Podemos luchar para salir adelante. Tenemos que desear tanto recuperarnos que sigamos luchando por ello sin importar lo que pase. \u00a1No te rindas!<\/p>\n<h2><strong>\u00bfD\u00f3nde puedo encontrar un consejero?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Si estamos buscando un consejero especializado en sustancias o alcohol, podemos empezar por buscar en Internet. Muchos consejeros ofrecen sesiones presenciales y virtuales. Para encontrar uno, puede visitar <a href=\"https:\/\/www.psychologytoday.com\/us\/therapists\">Buscador de terapeutas de Psychology Today.<\/a> Podemos buscar en Google \u00absalud mental en l\u00ednea\u00bb y aparecer\u00e1n muchas opciones. Hay sitios web como<a href=\"http:\/\/findhelp.org\"> findhelp.org<\/a> o <a href=\"http:\/\/findtreatment.gov\/locator\">findtreatment.gov\/locator<\/a>.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Utilizar el seguro m\u00e9dico<\/strong>. Si tienes seguro m\u00e9dico, es posible que cubra parte del costo de la terapia. Esto depende del tipo de plan que tengas. Puedes obtener m\u00e1s informaci\u00f3n sobre tus beneficios llam\u00e1ndolos o iniciando sesi\u00f3n en tu cuenta y verificando si tienes beneficios de salud conductual. Si es as\u00ed, puedes buscar terapeutas en el directorio y ponerte en contacto con ellos.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Prueba una aplicaci\u00f3n<\/strong>. Si buscas opciones virtuales, puedes probar una aplicaci\u00f3n de recuperaci\u00f3n en tu tel\u00e9fono. Aplicaciones como <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.affecttherapeutics.com\/\">Afectar<\/a><\/strong> y <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.reframeapp.com\/\">Reformular<\/a><\/strong> Hay grupos y asesoramiento en l\u00ednea. Las opciones virtuales pueden ser excelentes si no tienes acceso a transporte.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Pregunte a alguien que se encuentre en recuperaci\u00f3n.<\/strong>. Si conoces a alguien que recientemente haya dejado las drogas o el alcohol, aunque solo sea a trav\u00e9s de las redes sociales, puede que valga la pena intentar contactar con \u00e9l. Si se encuentra en una fase avanzada de su recuperaci\u00f3n y lo ha anunciado en Internet, es posible que est\u00e9 encantado de ayudarte.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Prueba con una organizaci\u00f3n o recurso local. <\/strong>Otro recurso es el 211, una l\u00ednea gratuita de informaci\u00f3n y referencia a la que puede llamar en cualquier momento desde cualquier tel\u00e9fono. La persona que le atienda le ayudar\u00e1 a encontrar lugares a los que acudir. Podemos encontrar un consejero en un centro de recuperaci\u00f3n local. Puede recibir asesoramiento en un centro de salud mental cercano. Organizaciones que tienen delegaciones locales como <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/screening.mhanational.org\/es\/content\/mental-health-america-facebook\/\">Salud mental en Estados Unidos<\/a><\/strong> o <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/screening.mhanational.org\/es\/content\/nami\/\">NAMI: Alianza Nacional para las Enfermedades Mentales<\/a><\/strong>, son lugares \u00fatiles para obtener informaci\u00f3n y recursos.<\/li>\n<li><strong>La rehabilitaci\u00f3n puede ser una opci\u00f3n.<\/strong> Si decides que lo mejor para ti es acudir a un centro de rehabilitaci\u00f3n, este deber\u00eda ofrecerte servicios integrales cuando salgas del centro. Un consejero del centro de rehabilitaci\u00f3n hablar\u00e1 contigo sobre lo que podr\u00edas necesitar antes de salir del centro.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Tambi\u00e9n puede acudir a la sala de urgencias o al hospital de su localidad y solicitar los servicios. Las salas de urgencias y los centros de salud mental suelen contar con asesores sanitarios que le ayudar\u00e1n a rellenar los formularios y a tramitar el seguro para que pueda recibir los servicios. El seguro puede suponer un obst\u00e1culo excesivamente grande a la hora de recibir servicios. Ponerse en contacto con un defensor del paciente puede ser de ayuda.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.samhsa.gov\/\">SAMHSA, Administraci\u00f3n de Abuso de Sustancias y Salud Mental<\/a><\/strong>, cuenta con una l\u00ednea telef\u00f3nica nacional para derivaciones a tratamientos.
