Considering Your Specific Needs
It is important to first consider what your needs for treatment may be, including those that may not necessarily pertain to your substance abuse. For example, it is important to ensure that the rehab center you choose can help if you require:
- Legal, vocational, educational, or housing help
- Medical care for a physical condition
- Medical care for a psychological condition
- Therapy for you and your spouse or family
- A multilingual staff
Therefore considering your specific needs before choosing an addiction treatment program is paramount.
Inpatient vs. Outpatient Treatment
According to the National Library of Medicine, Actiq is very intense and should only be given as a treatment option to those who are already tolerant to opioids, are over 18, and are only taking the medication to treat breakthrough pain.
If you have been abusing it, it is very likely that you have become severely addicted, as the drug causes heroin-like effects. In most cases, this will mean that you will require a more intensive treatment option.

Your two options for rehab are inpatient (or residential) and outpatient treatment. It is probably best for you to choose inpatient care because of the severity of the substance and its addiction syndrome, but depending on your needs, you may only require outpatient treatment. Consider the intensity of your addiction and whether or not an outpatient program will be able to give you the help you require. If not, it is important to seek inpatient treatment.
