Is it sad to think that the minute I read that John Travolta's son had died in the media that I so quickly jumped to the conclusion that it was because of or at least linked to some type of drug use or addiction. Of course as I kept reading the reason his young son passed away had absolutely nothing to do with drug use at all but with society as it is today I automatically assumed that because
People get so stuck on the luxuriousness of the rehab facilities that they are going to. I think this is absolutely hilarious considering these are the same people who have stayed multiple nights at crack houses and slept in their own puke after shooting up a huge line of coke in their

Most people have a gentle re-entry to ordinary life ahead of them when they get home. Few people are immune to any stimulus in their home environment. One woman wrote the story of how she re-adapted to life. A little at a time. She didn;t go anywhere she wasn't comfortable being. If she went somewhere and started being uncomfortable, she promptly left. As she was home longer and longer, her

Any person that uses drugs will always stay with them in there fat cells. So even if a person gets sober they will still have cravings to do the drugs because it stays in there body. All twelve step programs do not treat this specific problem, because they do not have the technology to do so. People who are addicted to drugs need a program that can actually pull the drugs from within there body.

There are many different kinds of addictions out there. Such as drugs, alcohol, and even addictions to gambling or even compulsive shopping! And there is a way out!!

Addicts need a rehab that has a higher success

People who are abusing drugs or alcohol need to realize that you do not have very many choices left. Except that you will go to jail, die, or get sober; thats all there is to it no buts or whats about it!! Unfortuantly most twelve step programs do not have the technology to keep a person sober for the long run. People who are addicted need a program with a high success rate, life courses, and

How do you choose? Choose first by whether or not they give drugs or have psychiatrists on staff. The first one doesn't make sense if you are trying to recover from addiction and the second -- well, first, psychiatrists give a lot of drugs, that is their solution to problems. Second psychiatrists are not known for letting you work out your own problems. They will use their "training" and tell you
