The Downward Spiral of drug addiction and alcoholism
No one wants to be a drug addict or alcoholic, but this doesn't
stop people from getting addicted. The most commonly asked drug
rehab question is simply, how? How could my son, daughter, father,
sister, or brother become a liar, a thief, someone who cannot be
trusted? How could this happen? And why won't they stop?
The first thing you must understand about drug rehab is that
alcohol and addictive drugs are basically painkillers. They
chemically kill physical or emotional pain and alter the mind's
perception of reality. They make people numb. For drugs to
be attractive to a person there must first be some underlying
unhappiness, sense of hopelessness, or physical pain. |

Drug Rehab Centers Rehabilitation Programs
Never give up
Drug addiction & alcoholism are afflictions. The drug addict
has most likely deeply hurt the family. Lying, cheating, job loss,
violence, even criminal behaviors are all symptoms of the addictive
behavior. If these were the symptoms of cancer would you give up?
Of course not, you would try other treatments. You would go to the
end of the earth to find something to save your loved one's life.
If you have a chronic relapse victim in your life you are in the
same position as a terminal cancer patient's family if not effectively
treated. The drug addict or alcoholic will die or end up in prison.
Unfortunately drug addiction is viewed all too often in light of
lack of will power or the drug addict just wants to get high and
doesn't care about his family. This could not be farther from the
truth.

Drug Rehab - "Never giving up" should not be confused
with enabling on the part of the family. The enabling behavior
is destructive and must be stopped immediately upon identifying
the active drug addict or alcoholic. The family must provide
drug addiction treatment options only. |

Relapse and Chronic Relapse, Is Recovery possible?
Drug Rehab - Yes recovery is possible, in fact Relapse is not part
of recovery. Relapse is a symptom of ineffective treatment programs.
Statistically 75%-90% of all alcoholics or drug addicts will relapse
within the first year of release from traditional treatment programs.
The short-term 28-day inpatient Drug Rehabilitation model or outpatient
drug rehab centers have in the past demonstrated these failure rates.
Addicts and alcoholics usually do work the programs they
are taught and do give their best efforts. Unfortunately many
drug addicts fail. You hear from the professionals "
he hasn't hit his bottom". In fact the program has failed
the drug addict and their family. |

Drug rehab - relapse is a heart-breaking event for a family it
can in fact be the breaking point. All too often relapse is where
the family takes a hard line and tells the addict to "do it
on their own" or "we can't help you anymore". This
is the time families are needed most. There are other drug rehab
options such as a drug rehab program that has a higher success rate
that offer "peace of mind" to families. This is the time
for long term effective care that will treat the bio-physical drug
cravings and the underlying emotional pain, the root of the drug
addiction. Typically a 3-5 month residential drug rehab program
with 4-6 months of follow-up aftercare is the recommended drug addiction
treatment method, for most hard-core drug addiction.
