People say going to a 30 day drug addiction treatment center is a big waste of time and money. People who say ” I am not going to go to rehab because it does not work”, do not know what they are talking about. And they are using it as a lame excuse to not go. The truth is 30 days of inpatient rehab is the ideal way to start down the road of successful recovery. It is true not everyone who goes to drug rehab is successful. Those who do not make it in recovery, fail because they were unwilling to give it 100%. Since, addiction is a fatal disease, I like the odds of doing 30 days of rehab, as opposed to the absolute certainty of death from the disease called drug addiction.

Doing 30 Days in an Addiction Center
Tuesday, July 21st, 2009Consider a Drug Program Carefully
Thursday, July 16th, 2009Like with anything else, be careful when shopping for the right best drug program. In the case of a drug rehabilitation treatment program, like anything else, you have to ask lots of good questions. Not all drug treatment programs are created equal. Like any other enterprise, a treatment program for drug abuse is about as good as the people who manage and work there. And, there’s more. In the case of a drug rehab program, you need to know some places really don’t care as much as they should about their clients. Same as some businesses we could mention. The point is, there is much more at stake here, than say buying a new blue ray DVD. Do your homework, get as much good information as you can from former patients and even the local better business bureau.
Freedom Starts With Inpatient Treatment
Sunday, July 12th, 2009Who in their right mind wakes up and and says, I’m going to check into inpatient treatment today. Seriously, people with a drug and or alcohol dependence need help. Checking themselves into a drug alcohol rehab is probably the best way to start a whole new life of recovery. Yes, I understand, it is a rather radical thing to do. Let’s look at the alternatives. The person can continue on the way they’re going. They can try and stop or control their behavior. Or, they can try some other form of therapy. Freedom, especially from drug alcohol addiction, rarely comes cheap. And going to rehab is no guarantee of success. It takes a lot of work and a firm commitment. In a word, it’s do or die time, and isn’t freedom and a better life worth a it?
No Two Rehab Centers Are Alike
Tuesday, June 30th, 2009There are inpatient, rehab centers for alcohol and drug abuse in most major cities. And the interesting thing is no two rehab centers are remotely the same. Each one has their own philosophy, history, staff and program. Most of them, but not all, are firmly entrenched in the the 12-Step, alcoholics anonymous model of recovery. And not all of them have detox facilities. Some do a much better job with dual diagnosis than others. Some use the “Florida model”, where the patients have to cook, clean and shop for themselves. Picking the right treatment rehab center is a very important decision. It can make the difference between being successful, or not. Visit their website, ask a lot of good questions and take your time.
