Addiction Rehab Help

 " Do not seek advice from unqualified people" I think that was the best advice I had ever heard. Many people think they know what is best but even mom has to admit she does not know what is best all the time. When you are looking for addiction treatment seek advice from a professional in the field of addiction. Your family Doctor, your clergy, and your hair dressers brothers’ sister in law may want to help and their heart is in the right place but are they qualified to help you? Usually not.

       Advice from these people is why most addicts go through many different treatment programs before they receive the help they need. If my family had sought the advice from a professional early in my addiction it may have saved them thousands of dollars and years of heartache.

        Many people think that you start on a gradient with addiction, first a little outpatient treatment, if that does not work then a short term program and a few meetings, if that does not work then a little longer program and a few more meetings every week.

        I realize that an addicts family is happy just to have the addict trying some sort of treatment,  but in reality more often than not you are just enabling the addict to continue using and living the same life style as they were before starting this type of treatment. Remember the addict is a master manipulator and is looking for the easy way out. He or she will do just enough to make you happy and get you off his back.

        Get serious right from the start. The first attempt at rehab needs to be the best program for the addict’s specific needs. Even if the addict says he needs help but his addiction is not that bad, remember when an addict tells you about their drug or alcohol abuse you can safely multiply whatever they have told you by three and you will be closer to the truth. For example if I told my parents that I was drinking a pint of alcohol a day what I was really saying was I am drinking a fifth a day.

        Not all programs are the same and not all programs are designed to give the addict what they need to stay clean. "Cookie Cutter" programs that treat every addict the same are not known for their high success rates.
