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
Some times it takes people multiple times to understand howto handle their problems with drugs and alcohol. They may try to handle it through going to meeting, quitting on their own, or even just tapering off of the drugs or alcohol. On the other hand sometimes it only takes one time for someone to really get it and turn their life around. It is sometimes said that someone needs to hit their

Most of the addicts I have seen get handled do so with the support of their families. Most people at the rehab where I work are not all alone. They have someone who cared enough to stick with them, maybe help them with financing or just support. It's one of those times of life that the value of loving and supporting one's family becomes very apparent. If you support them when they need it, you

Some rehabs work, some are a poor excuse. I have heard some people state that they were planning their next drug or alcohol use while they were in rehab. or that from rehab, they went out directly and got high. No one ever got through to them that they needed to participate for any rehab to work. But some rehabs still work better than others. Families can get an addicted member back, healthy and

Drugs and alcohol are amazing in that they can turn a good person into a bad person. Most people who get stuck in abuse of drugs or alcohol change into a person with few of their original good qualities. So a man or woman can marry someone who becomes a different person, as I did. Or a parent can raise a child who turns into someone else, as I did as well. The wonderful person you know is still

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!! Twelve-step programs are unfortunatly not a very good source to get off of drugs or anyother kind of addiction because on average they only have a 30 something pecent success rate. 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

I have been there done that, wrote the book and read back over it. I know what it takes to get away from addiction to any substance/drug. People need a rehab with a high success rate and life
